STORY: “When it was first discovered it was a 101 carat rough gemstone which already excited so many people in the gem industry," said Uni Kim, a jewelry specialist in Sotheby's Hong Kong.

“And when it was faceted and afterwards and made into this beautiful cushion-shaped gemstone, it is one of the biggest and largest gem-quality ruby that we have ever seen.”

After being exhibited in Hong Kong, the gem will be displayed in Taipei, China, Singapore, Geneva and Dubai, before being auctioned in New York on June 8.
