A 555.55 carat diamond is being auctioned

Sotheby's is the auctioneer; it expects the diamond to fetch $6 million, which, to me, seems low. It's a black diamond of the carbonado type, which some scientists say is over 3 billion years old. There are competing theories about the origins of the gem, named The Enigma, including that it came from space.

I was reading about that.
Certain indicators suggest it arrived on a meteor, or was created when a meteor struck Earth.
