And finally， one of the world′s most valuable diamonds has been sold at auction for over 22 million U.S. dollars.
The flawless 100－carat diamond was the highlight of Sotheby′s ″Magnificent Jewels″ sale in New York on Tuesday.
According to the auction house， it was purchased by an anonymous buyer via telephone within the first three minutes of bidding.
The classic emerald－cut gemstone is about the size of a walnut and has been described by appraisers as the ″definition of perfection.″
But despite the impressive sale， the world record for a gemstone sold at auction belongs to the ″Pink Star″ diamond， which went for 83 million dollars in Geneva in 2013.
And that wraps up our look at international stories for now.
I′ll see you back here tomorrow night.
