I was going to note this topic when the diamond was about to go on sale, but that time came and went, and the diamond was sold. The diamond is named the "Pink Legacy", and it was purchased by Harry Winston Jewelers for $50 million.
Pink diamond is bought for a record $50 MILLION by New York jeweller Harry Winston
It's about 19 carats, and it's really, really pink. Which obviously makes it really, really valuable.
As befits an owner that can afford to buy it, they renamed it the "Winston Pink Legacy".
Here's a picture of the big piece of crystallized carbon with a little bit of an impurity. I am really fascinated by gemstones, especially the big rare ones, but seriously, that's what this is. And we as humans assign great value to its uniqueness.
