It is the largest good quality rough diamond to be sold at the Dubai Diamond Exchange.
A rare 1,086-carat rough diamond was sold at a Dubai auction this week. The colour is the result of the stone being not one crystal, but several merged together. Some of them are darker than others and therefore give a yellow-orange glow. All photos: DMCC
The diamond is a yellow-orange shade but it is not known what colour it will be after it is polished.
Diamond experts say it is a 'very speculative stone and it will be up to the buyers to try to unravel what polished outcomes will be possible'.
