A rare pink diamond has been auctioned for $17.4m (£11.1m) — far higher than expected — after six minutes of frenzied bidding in Hong Kong.
Auctioneers Christie’s say that the diamond — the biggest of its kind ever to be sold — was bought by an anonymous telephone bidder.
The Martian Pink diamond is extremely rare. Its owner believed it would fetch the best price in Hong Kong.
