An unusually large pink diamond sold for $50 million (about 50.4 million Swiss francs) Tuesday at Christie's auction house in Geneva.
The 18.96-carat Pink Legacy went under the hammer as part of the annual Magnificent Jewels auction and attracted a huge amount of interest due to its large size and impressive color grading.
Pink Legacy is categorized as a "Fancy Vivid" diamond, the highest grade of color intensity. Only 1 in 100,000 diamonds receives the grading.
