Blue moon diamond

We just sold it in Geneva, this quality comes along once in hundreds of years, intense blue and flawless. A true wonder of nature

 

Does that mean you can bale us out?

 

Haha, is it a good investment?

 

You should have valued the blue Stones we had.

 

Of course, you could make the Reds mighty again?????????????

 

He was asking about his state pension allowance t'other day, so I'd guess not.

 

Correct Ponty, I'm an employee, MD but still an employee who has to report to the shareholders, but yes, it was our stone, was mined in the Cullinan Mine near Pretoria, the rough was bought by us and we cut and polished it and sold it yesterday.

 

Just messing mate.

Sounds an interesting line of work tbh. What price bought and sold?

 

Do you have a company shop, like Lyons used to have for their cakes?

 

Think I've just seen it on sky news. 23 million quid if I heard correctly
Sold that is

 

Thought it'd be a big price but that is impressive.

 

Thought it was one of LJ's formations

 

It's been bought by someone in Hong Kong for his 7-year old daughter. He's renamed it "Blue Moon of Josephine"

We bought it for 20.6 million dollars, sold for 48.5

 

Tidy profit. What is spent on cut and polish?

 

Always wondered; when a diamond is cut, what happens to the left over bits? The shavings from the cut.

Do they go in to a kitty for the Xmas do?

 

That's obscene.

I've bought my daughter a load of Octonauts toys for this Christmas and feel like I'm borderline spoiling her...

Perspective.

 

10% to Sotherby's and a couple of hundred thousand on cutting.

 

But still a nice profit. Yes, it is another world, took me some time to get used to it

 

Lend me a tenner.
