The squash-ball sized stone, which will be sold at the Hong Kong branch of Christie’s auction house on May 28, is now on exhibition in London and is also the biggest white diamond at auction in nearly two decades, Christie’s said.

The gem that has been cut from a 460-carat South African rough stone is expected to fetch over US $6 million
