Description
The world's largest known cut diamond goes on public display for the first time ahead of its sale, when it is expected to reach five million dollars. The Enigma, the name of the rare black carbanado diamond, has been put on display in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
The diamond is believed to have been created when a meteorite or an asteroid hit the Earth more than 2.6 billion years ago, according to Sotheby's auction house jewellery specialist Sophie Stevens. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
