A Vancouver (aka Canadian) west coast mining company found an 11,000karat diamond that was valued at $92 MILLION. It was put up for auction via Sothebys however it didn't sell. They're blaming the BREXIT vote for making all those multi Billionaires too 'anxious' and 'nervous' to buy it.

Gotta be real tough when you can't buy a 92 MILLION dollar diamond cause you're worried about the economy.

Apparently there were bids - didn't say how much - but the bids didn't meet the bottom line so the diamond didn't sell.

They showed it with somebody holding it and it looks the size of a large baseball.

Mine too - been upset all day that the Auction house wasn't able to sell the diamond for its full assessed value. Terrible shame that.
