Sotheby's November 2013 auction in Geneva saw several records broken, including the highest price ever paid for a gemstone - $83.02 million for the 59.6 ct Pink Star diamond. Christie's November auction also set records, including the highest per-carat price of $2.4 million for the 14.82 ct Orange diamond. Overall strong demand from wealthy Asian buyers for rare gems and jewelry led to record sales for Christie's and Sotheby's in 2013, with economists predicting even stronger demand and higher prices in 2014.
A 29.6 carat blue diamond was recovered from the Cullinan Mine in South Africa in January 2014.
