The flawlessly beautiful stone was acquired by an anonymous author from Japan.
A 102.39-carat white diamond was sold at Sotheby's online auction for $ 15.7 million.
This is a record price for a gemstone ever for sale online, CNN reports. The new owner of the rare diamond is an anonymous collector from Japan. He named the stone "Maiko Star" after one of his daughters.
The diamond was mined from a 271-carat stone discovered at a Canadian mine in 2018. The Auction House Sotheby's described it as "impeccable", the beauty of which is difficult to overestimate.
