“The Rock” super giant white diamond is being auctioned for the first time

The white diamond named “The Rock”, the largest diamond ever seen in the history of the auction market, was mined in South Africa more than two decades ago. A stone the size of an apple is one of the most sought-after gemstones, and this rare gemstone has been included in Forbes’ list of “The Most Valuable Gemstones in the World.”

Christie’s Head of Jewelry, Max Fawcett, recently announced the sale of a 228-carat pear-shaped diamond. This diamond is the largest diamond ever certified by GIA (Gemological Institute of America) in history. In history, this is  the largest colorless diamond ever brought to auction.

The white diamond is a natural diamond weighing more than 200 carats. This is the largest diamond ever found in history. This is the rarest diamond ever auctioned with an estimated value of up to 30 million USD.

According to Christie’s, The Rock will join the legendary ranks of the finest gemstones ever sold in Christie’s auction rooms globally over the past 250 years.

Experts predict that the diamond market will continue to grow as the world emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic. Demand for diamonds and jewelry will rise as more and more people return to comfortable and luxurious living.

The Rock diamond was found as far back as 20 years ago in South Africa. But only now has it been brought to public auction.

Before being brought to NewYork and Taiwan, the super giant The Rock diamond was displayed at Christie’s Dubai in March.

During Christie’s luxury week in May, this super huge diamond will be displayed to the public at the Four Seasons hotel in Geneva.

A 163.41-carat white diamond set the record as the largest diamond ever at an auction in November 2017. The stone was sold to a private collector in Geneva, Switzerland for 33.7 million dollars.

2 most famous giant diamonds

The largest diamond ever discovered was the Cullinan Diamond, weighing 3,106 carats. It was found in South Africa on January 26, 1905. It is part of the British Crown and is worth about 350 million USD.

It was named after Sir Thomas Cullinan, who owned it briefly before gifting it to King Edward VII as a birthday present. The Cullinan Diamond is the largest gem-quality diamond ever found, weighing twice as much as the second-largest diamond (Koh-i-Noor). The stone was cut into a pear shape and polished so that it had only one face. It was then set as part of Queen Victoria’s crown.

The second-largest diamond ever discovered was Lesedi La Rona (also known as the Star of Lesotho), weighing 2,109 carats and found in Lesotho on November 28, 2015.
