Under the current legislation, ALROSA sells special-size (over 10.8 carats) rough diamonds at auctions only.

In March 2020, ALROSA suspended auctions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Customers participated in online auctions with detailed digital copies of each rough diamond provided for review and detailed analysis. In May, the company started the return to the usual format by organizing auctions in its trading offices in Belgium and Israel. The following auctions in these countries were held in July and September. In October, ALROSA held a successful auction in Dubai, the first one since the pandemic began.
