The diamond has been nicknamed The Rock, it’s a 228.31 carat pear-shaped stone roughly the size of a golf ball. Mined in South Africa, “The Rock” was worn by its former owner as a necklace. The new owner prefers to remain anonymous.
The sale price was at the low end of the expected range, a portion of the proceeds from the sale are going to bringing clean water to people affected by conflict.
