By little rock, I mean diamonds.
A few of them went on sale recently. I was not one of the buyers.
Farnese Blue diamond fetches $6.7m at Geneva auction
It's only 6.1 carats, but it is blue.
The Farnese Blue is a 6.16-carat, pear-shaped blue diamond given in 1715 to Elisabeth Farnese, wife of King Philip V of Spain. |
A couple of other big rocks were on sale, too.
"Sotheby's spring sale also included two D-color white diamonds discovered in Botswana. A 51.7-carat round-cut diamond ring sold for $9.2 million. A 50.4-carat oval-cut diamond went for $8.1 million."
Nice things to have if you can afford them.
Most of us can't.
