Auctioneers say a rare blue diamond is being offered at a UK auction and could sell for up to £2 million. The gem is described as weighing more than eight carats and is expected to attract interest from collectors.
Elmwood Auctions, as reported by the Evening Standard, says the diamond would be only the third blue diamond over eight carats ever offered at auction in the UK. The Belfast Telegraph report carries the same core information, focusing on the diamond’s rarity and the potential auction price, but provides fewer additional details in its published snippet.
Across outlets, the shared emphasis is on the stone’s unusual colour and size, and on its estimated value. Both accounts link that estimated range to the fact that such large blue diamonds are seldom seen in UK auctions.
