Rare Blue-Green Diamond Achieves Record Price
A remarkable 5.5-carat triangular-cut diamond known as the "Ocean Dream" has sold for $17.3 million at auction, establishing itself as a significant milestone in the luxury gemstone market. Christie's confirmed that this exceptional stone represents the largest fancy vivid blue-green diamond currently known to exist, making it a unique addition to prestigious collections worldwide.
The sale underscores the continued strength of the high-end diamond market, particularly for stones with extraordinary color characteristics and exceptional rarity. Blue-green diamonds are exceptionally scarce, with their coloration caused by trace elements and structural properties that occur in only a tiny fraction of diamonds globally. The "Ocean Dream's" vivid hue and substantial carat weight make it virtually irreplaceable in the market.
