This article details the arrival of a notable 37.4-carat pink diamond from Botswana in Antwerp for specialized processing.
A pink diamond from the Karowe mine in Botswana has arrived in Antwerp. The diamond, weighing 37.4 carats, is a remarkable find, according to the company HB Antwerp.
The company is now responsible for examining and cutting the diamond so that its pink color is showcased to its best advantage.
A few years ago, the pink diamond “Eternal Pink” was auctioned for more than $35 million. That stone weighed 10.5 carats. In 2017, a 59.6-carat diamond named the “Pink Star” was sold in Hong Kong for $71.2 million, which remains the highest price ever paid for a diamond.
Three of the top five most valuable diamonds ever sold at auction are pink diamonds. Experts still do not fully understand how the pink color is formed.
