Outside Source

Available for over a year

Described as "the most beautiful diamond in the world", the emerald-cut diamond, the largest of its kind, is being auctioned off at Christie's in Geneva. Discovered last year in Angola, the massive gem known as 'The Creation' has already been on tour to Hong Kong, London, Dubai and New York and is expected to sell for around 30 million dollars - as the 麻豆社's Imogen Foulkes explains.
