Massive, Stelter-Sized Sapphire Dug Up in Sri Lanka

How massive?

Six hundred eighty-three pounds of massive, Jack!

The massive blue sapphire will be auctioned.

Tell you what -- let's not dick around with an auction, Chief.

I'll help you unload that thing right now.

I'll give you six hundos for it. Six hundos, American.

All right, six hundos, eighty three. A buck a pound.

That's what I pay for good cheese.

The largest single natural gem believed to have ever been discovered in Sri Lanka is expected to be auctioned off soon.

The 683-pound blue sapphire dubbed the "Queen of Asia" was discovered by workers in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka -- a city known as the "city of gems" -- in a gem trader's backyard in July.

Oh you gave it a name? To drive up the price, I imagine?

Is that the game we're playing? We're just "branding" the rocks we dig up?

All right -- eight hundos.

These are special hundos. Each is a "Lord of Hundos." Very rare, exquisitely valuable. Each has its own special number.

I can also give you a free consultation for Quality Shelving.

"This is not an aggregate. It is a single stone. As far as we know it could be the largest recorded corundum in the world," Weerasinghe said.

You seem pretty unsure of yourself there, Weerainghe.

Like a cvck.

You seem weak to me. Weak like a man who's worried to be away from his wife for more than a half hour at a time.

I'm down to seven hundos. Seven hundos and I'll take this eyesore of a paperweight off your hands.

The owners are compiling potential buyers, such as "museums and high net worth individuals," for an upcoming auction, according to Chamila Suranga, a representative for the Gemological Institute of Ratnapura.

Suranga told Forbes the gem could be worth upwards of $100 million.

That's a big rock. The auction price might be expodential.

Ah I didn't want it anyway. Jewelry is for Teh Gays and Mediterraneans.


Now that I see it, it really is just a rock. It only looks blue when they shine a blue light on it.

I'm down to five hundos, Weerainghe. Five hundos, and I promise I'll put in a good word for you with your wife when I'm done messing her snizz.
