[lynashag]

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York auction house is showing off what it calls the world's greatest white diamond on the block — a 118-carat stone from Africa the size of a small egg.

The oval diamond glistened in its glass case Wednesday at Sotheby's Manhattan headquarters, not yet mounted after it was mined and cut two years ago. It will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct. 7 and has a pre-sale estimate of $28 million to $35 million.

Be still my heart!

I was going to bid on it until I saw the bubble flaw in the center of the stone.... Too bad I already have an oval ER... Seriously, that is one Hell of a stone.
