Blue diamond fetched a record price at auction


LONDON - A rare flawless blue diamond fetched a record price at auction in Hong Kong that broke down to more than $1 million per carat. London jeweler Alisa Mousieff paid 3.91 million pounds ($7.9 million) for the 6.04-carat stone that will be locked away in a vault in London and shown only to top-shelf clients, The Times of London said Tuesday. The newspaper said that while the diamond is not the largest in the world, it is flawless, has “an immaculate” cut and a striking bluish hue caused by a sprinkling of boron in the stone.
