According to Associated Press News, auction house Sotheby\u2019s Dubai has unveiled a diamond that\u2019s literally from out of this world. Sotheby\u2019s calls the 555.55-carat black diamond believed to have come from outer space \u201cThe Enigma.\u201d<\/p>\n

The black diamond Enigma is currently on an exhibit tour, traveling from Dubai to Los Angeles. The rare gem will be auctioned off in London next month and is expected to be sold for the equivalent of nearly 5 million British pounds, or $6.8 million. The auction house plans to accept cryptocurrency as a possible payment as well.<\/p>\n

Sophie Stevens, a jewelry specialist at Sotheby\u2019s Dubai, told The Associated Press that the number five bears importance significance to the diamond, which has 55 facets as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shape of the diamond is based on the Middle-Eastern palm symbol of the Khamsa, which stands for strength and it stands for protection,\u201d she said. Khamsa in Arabic means five. \u201cSo there\u2019s a nice theme of the number five running throughout the diamond,\u201d she added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stevens also said the black diamond is likely from outer space.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the carbonado diamonds, we believe that they were formed through extraterrestrial origins, with meteorites colliding with the Earth and either forming chemical vapor disposition or indeed coming from the meteorites themselves,\u201d she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Black diamonds, also known as carbonado, are extremely rare and are found naturally only in Brazil and Central Africa. The cosmic origin theory is based on their carbon isotopes and high hydrogen content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
