Another 205.07 carat diamond known as the "Red Cross Diamond" will be auctioned on May 11.

"It is quite unusual to have two 200 carat diamonds in a single auction. The Red Cross diamond weighs 205 carats and was found in 1907 at the 'DeBeers' mine in South Africa. "It was then sold to Christie's of London in 1918 at a Red Cross auction during the war."

According to forecasts, this diamond can be sold from 7 million to 10 million dollars, while a part of the amount will go to the International Red Cross.
