If you've been waiting far too long for a lover to pop the question, perhaps it's best to look away now, for this is the most expensive diamond ever to go under thehammer. That's what auction house Sotheby's says, anyway.
It's called the 'Pink Star' and experts believe that at 59.6 carats, it could fetch as much as 40 million pounds. It was cut andpolishedfrom a 132.5 carat rough diamond mined by De Beers somewhere in Africa in 1999. It was then sold to ananonymousbuyer in 2007. Not her. So let's hope whoever buys it this time around is luckier in love than she was.
Difficult words:hammer(tool which is for hitting things),polish(clean),anonymous(unknown).
