The Great Ball of China: Six ton Chinese pearl

Weighing six tons and standing 5ft tall, this luminous pearl may be hard to shift physically speaking – but even with a mammoth £88million price tag it shouldn’t be too hard to find a buyer.

The stone, formed mostly of a fluorite mineral, glows green in the dark and is prized more highly than diamonds in China.

It was unearthed in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia and took its finders three years to grind the raw gem down to its pearl shape.

I found it...
Great Ball of China

That's pretty nifty!!

If it's 5ft tall, those women standing next to it must be their WNBA stars!

Seriously!

Nice stone.. certainly not a Pearl by any means.

And I think it stands 5 foot tall.. on it's plinth.
