First cryptocurrency diamond to be sold in ‘symbolic moment’ for 455 bitcoins (£10m)
This is the first time a flawless diamond will be available to purchase using bitcoins, although traditional money will still be accepted.
The Key 10138 is the second-largest pear-shaped diamond to appear on the public market.
It is considered a rare diamond as it belongs to Type IIa, a unique subgroup comprising less than two percent of all gem diamonds.
The name of the diamond was chosen to capture both the past, the present and future, Sotheby’s said.
It explained that historically, keys, like diamonds, have been a symbol of power and of the freedom that comes with it.
