Sun Diamond Drop,
the biggest yellow diamond
ever found has been
auctioned in Geneva via
Sotheby’s. That’s the hugest
sparkler in the yellow color
range. The piece even has a
name, the "Sun Diamond
Drop". The precious stone
scored a record price.
A telephone bidder paid
about 12.4 million dollars
for that beauty. The
110-carat gem was discovered
last year in South Africa
and has a very special cut.
The pear-shaped outline is
made to maximize its shade.
As it is with all colored
gems crystal impurities made
this special sun like color.
The stone was sold by the
New York diamond
manufacturer Cora
International.
Frome time to time new
precious stones come to
market and most are sold via
auction at Sotheby's Geneva. |
