I was thinking about this on the way to work when I heard about the recent sale of an Orange Diamond for $35.53m, a new record. Plus there’s an even bigger one about to be auctioned that should beat this 😯

Orange Diamond record auction

My business is dependent on extremely wealthy people buying our product so I have no problem with colossal wealth, we do very well out of it and I find most of my clients to be (on the whole) easy to get on with. The thing is this sort of purchase doesn’t generate much in the way of money recycling (with the exception of the auction houses) so very much a super rich investment come plaything. FFS it’s a shiny bit of mineral!
