If you are the kind of person who would like to collect things related to human and animal histories, you would most certainly be interested in bones, art, fossils and the like. Here is a diamond which apparently came to earth when a meteor struck our planet long time ago. This was when South America and Africa were connected to each other. The diamond is being sold at $2,100 and is a Carbonado rough diamond.
This discovery further supports the idea and belief that carbonados are from outer space. While the mysteries get solved by modern science, you can buy this lovely piece of diamond for yourself and for your family as a heirloom. You could also buy it as an investment as many decades later people would offer millions just to be able to take it back to the lab and conduct one of those scientific studies.

Christies Auction house would sell you just about anything, from celebrity clothing to luxurious furniture. If the price is right then you can surely find something desirable here.
Christie’s will bring you something quite extraordinary at one of their auctions taking place on the 7th of this month. This fossilised gemstone, Ammonite, is of a mollusc that went into extinction over 80 million years ago. The beautiful rainbow colour of the fossil is from centuries of pressure on the shell of the sea creature. The smaller of two Ammonites being auctioned off, the fossil was found in Alberta, Canada. It is estimated that the fossil could fetch $68,000.
