but if you have a lot of money you can buy the world's largest SINGLE CRYSTAL diamond.
Experts spent 15 years perfecting the black pear shaped gem known as the Vulcan.
The diamond originally weighed nearly 400-carats
It was shaved down to 180 carats, or about the size of an egg, to accent its finest features.
It goes on sale June 25th and is expected to bring in one-point-three MILLION dollars.
