Rockwell Diamonds Inc. ("Rockwell" or the "Company") (TSX: RDI; JSE: RDI; OTCBB: RDIAF) reports that it has recovered several large stones - plus-50 carats in size - from the Saxendrift and Holpan mining operations.

Some of these large diamonds were produced prior to the short break for the holiday season, and others were recovered since operational start-up on January 8, 2010. They are:

* 52.40 carat clean light fancy yellow diamond from Holpan;

* 60.52 carat light yellow octahedral diamond from Saxendrift;

* 74.99 carat clean white irregular blocky stone from Saxendrift;

* 54.23 carat light yellow broken macle stone with inclusions from Saxendrift; and

* 60.51 light yellow rounded flat stone with oxide coating and minor inclusions from Saxendrift.

The stones are being cleaned to ensure that their proper characteristics, including colour and clarity, are apparent for valuation by the Company's diamond experts.
