NEW YORK -- A New York auction house is showing off what it calls the world's greatest white diamond on the block – a 118-carat stone from Africa the size of a small egg.
The oval diamond glistened in its glass case Wednesday at Sotheby's Manhattan headquarters, not yet mounted after it was mined and cut two years ago.
It will be auctioned
It will be auctioned
in Hong Kong on Oct. 7 and has a pre-sale estimate
of $28 million to $35 million.
In terms of size, quality, polish and color, "this is the greatest white diamond we've ever had the privilege to sell," said Quek Chin Yeow, deputy chairman of Sotheby's Asia and an international diamond expert.

In a First, Japan Airlines Orders Airbus Jets
TOKYO — Airbus announced a $9.5 billion order from Japan Airlines on Monday, the European aircraft builder’s biggest breakthrough in Japan, which is one of the last redoubts of dominance by Boeing.
Japan Airlines and Airbus said the Japanese carrier, also known as JAL, would buy 31 A350 wide-body jets, which are expected to replace Boeing 777s in the carrier’s long-haul lineup. Airbus is set to begin deliveries of the A350, a new plane that made its first test flight in June, to JAL in 2019.
