According to Sotheby’s auction house, the diamond, which is classified as internally flawless, is estimated to sell for between $19 million and $25 million. The diamond “joins an elite group of just five comparable-quality diamonds over 100 carats that have ever been sold at auction worldwide.”

The diamond, originally bined by De Beers in southern Africa at a weight of over 200 carats, was studied, cut and polished for over a year. It will be exhibited in Dubai, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, London and Doha prior to the auction beginning on April 21.
