Sotheby's auction house has auctioned an "alien" fancy black diamond weighing 555.55 carats. The Enigma diamond has 55 facets and according to Sophie Stevens, jewelry specialist for Sotheby's, "The shape of the diamond is based on the Middle Eastern 'Khamsa' palm symbol, which represents strength and protection. Also in Arabic Khamsa means 5. With the carbonado diamonds, we believe that they were formed through extraterrestrial origins, with meteorites colliding with the Earth and either forming chemical vapor disposition or indeed coming from the meteorites themselves," notes the expert.
The Enigma diamond sold for 3,161,000 British pounds
