"In 40 years of working at Christie's I've never seen anything like this in my life. It was a huge surprise when there it was, we saw it and couldn't quite believe that such a stone existed. It has wonderful purity and incredible brightness. It is beautifully cut, but it is the size and the color that just take your breath away," Warren said.
