One of the rarest gems on Earth has sold at auction for a staggering 12.1 million Swiss francs ($14.6 million). The emerald-cut 'Bulgari Pink' is a Type IIa diamond - a very rare type representing fewer than two per cent of gem-quality diamonds. These diamonds contain virtually no measurable nitrogen or boron impurities, and are highly sought-after. Ahead of the sale, Max Fawcett, Christie's global head of jewelry, trumpeted the stone as 'the Mona Lisa of pink diamonds.'
