I got some stories in the journal.

Never get to them if I don't get to them this way.

I want to do that now.

We'll start with this one.

A rare 102-carat white diamond has sold at auction for $15.7 million, but experts are calling it a

bargain price for that.

$15 million was a steal?

Yes.

You say a white diamond.

That's just a regular diamond, right?

Yes, 102-carat white diamond, and it's flawless.

Oh, wow.

When they say flawless, obviously, nothing is perfect, perfect, but as close to flawless as you can get, correct?

I don't know. When you go- What percentage puts it into flawless? Good question.

Yeah. I don't know, but when you go, have you ever been to look through the, the jewelers? Yeah. The jewelers. That's how you look at my neighbors and everything. You know, there are little bubbles. They're little specs and things like that. You wouldn't be able to see any of that. To the naked eye. No, with that. so you wouldn't be able to see anything under 10 times it being magnified. Okay, all right, and that qualifies as flawless. Well, it's a spectacular looking diamond. Well, how big is 102 carrots? You know what, there's a picture of somebody holding it, I think. It's the size of an award-winning pumpkin. It's pretty damn big, case. It's like, I want to say, well, it's not like egg size.

It's smaller than that, but the gemstone went to an unnamed telephone bidder.

The auction was held online by Sotheby's in Hong Kong.

The diamond was taken from a 271-carat stone.

Jesus.

Which was discovered at a Canadian mine in 2018.

In the Arctic?
