A Rare Gem Sells for $17 Million The Story of Ocean Dream
Last week, Christie's auction house made headlines when the largest blue-gr[7D[K

So, what makes Ocean Dream so special? For starters, it's a significant s[1D[K

The gem was extracted from a mine in Central Africa in the 1990s and has be[2D[K
been making the rounds ever since. It even had a stint at the Smithsonian I[1D[K

So why is this diamond so valuable? According to Max Fawcett, global head o[1D[K
of Christie's Jewelry, it's all about the color and size. A stone of this [K

It's clear that Ocean Dream is a gem like no other – and its latest sale [K
marks just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for this rare and valua[5D[K
