The biggest splashy orange colored diamond to ever go under the hammer was sold in Geneva for an astronomical (£22million) $35.5 million, a world record.

François Curiel, the international head of Christie's jewelry department, said the it's record price puts it 'amongst the greatest pinks and blues, which are traditionally the most appreciated colored diamonds'.
