The ‘Golden Eye’ diamond sold at Cleveland for $2.8 million. The 43.51-carat diamond got 16 bids in a three-day online auction that closed at 3:15 p.m. Bidding started at $900,000. The winning bidder wasn't immediately disclosed. The U.S. Marshals Service says the winning bid must be checked out.
The unmounted diamond measures 25.65 millimeters long (a little bit longer than an inch), 18.06 mm wide and 10.78 mm in depth. Authorities said it is the biggest precious stone seized by the U.S. Marshals Service. Despite the state of the economy, the Marshals Service had to sell the gem now because of forfeiture policies.
