LONDON (AFP) - The biggest colourless diamond to appear at auction for 20 years will go under the hammer later this year, officials said Tuesday.
The 101.27-carat stone, which will be sold at the Hong Kong branch of Christie's auction house on May 28, is expected to fetch in excess of six million dollars (three million pounds, four million euros).
"Only three colourless diamonds of over 100 carats have ever appeared at auction, all sold in Geneva," said Francois Curiel, chairman of jewellery at Christie's.
