This glory surrounding the \u201cLaguna Blu\u201d diamond — although it weighs 11.16 carats, or only 2 grams, will go under the hammer for $25 million — which resembles a small almond paste, is caused by its descent from a rare variety, whose stone is born after the labor of nature that lasts millions of years, during which the chemical element \u201cBoron\u201d merges with crystal crystals amid geological conditions of high temperature with intense pressure deep in the earth.
