SOUNDBITE (English) Feryal Ahmadi, chief operating officer at Dubai Multi Commodities Centre: "We're unveiling two very magnificent stones at the Dubai Diamond Exchange today. The first is the vivid pink, which is called the Eternal Pink. It's one of the most exquisite pink diamonds that has come to the market as of date. And the second is eternal de FURA, which is 55 carats - considered to be the largest and most valuable ruby that has ever gone to auction. We were honored to have this stone on the Dubai Diamond Exchange last year in its rough form and this year it has come back in its polished and cut form. As you are all aware, Dubai has established itself as a diamond hub in the past decade, and will soon be also the precious stones and gemstones hub of the world, welcoming more of such gemstones such as rubies, diamonds and sapphires." 9.

SOUNDBITE (English) Sophie Stevens, gemstone expert: "It's very nice bringing it back here to Dubai because in September 2022, it was revealed by Fura Gems, who mined it in Mozambique in its rough when it weighed 101 carats. It has since been cut and polished by master gem cutters into the beautiful cushion shape that it is today. And so we look forward to seeing it break records in New York next month." 13.

It's one of the most valuable and vivid pink diamonds ever to come to auction and has an estimate in excess of $35 million. For the Estrela de FURA, we're expecting it to break all records for ruby because there has never been one seen in this size before - in terms of a gem quality ruby at auction. And we expect the estimate to be in excess of $30 million." 16. Visitors looking at gemstones 17.
