A rare rose diamond found in 1999 in the depths of Africa on Tuesday became the most expensive in the world after being auctioned in Hong Kong for the shocking rador sum of the mind-blowing gem is Chow Tai Fook, a wealthy businessman who bid in close contention with two other phone buyers, according to The Washington Post.
Tai Fook owns a jeweler empire of more than 100 years that is considered one of the largest in Asia.
The Pink Star was extracted from the bowels of the earth by the DeBeers firm. Steinmetz Diamonds cut and polished the impressive rock - which originally weighed 132.5 carats - until obtaining the gem in its current state, which was presented to the public in May 2003. At the time, experts considered it “the stone rare and fine precious than the world has seen.
In 2013 the diamond was exhibited at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural Sciences in Washington DC next to another mythical rock like the Hope diamond, over 45 carats in weight and - according to legend - has a curse. Oh!
