On February 11, a 555.55-carat giant natural black diamond with a history of 1 billion years was sold at Sotheby’s auction house, and the buyer bought it for 3.16 million pounds (about 4.3 million US dollars) in cryptocurrency. The identity of the buyer was not disclosed, but Richard Heart, the entrepreneur and founder of blockchain proof-of-deposit platform PulseX.com, announced on Twitter that he had won the diamond and renamed it the “HEX.com Diamond.”
The exquisite natural black diamond formerly known as “Enigma” was named the world’s largest cut diamond in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2006, and Sotheby’s called the diamond “the largest known to man,” reports said. One of the rare, billion-year-old wonders.”
