@sothebys: With an estimate starting at $60,000, this unmounted Paraíba tourmaline kicked off a battle of the wills between one phone bidder and one online bidder during yesterday's High Jewelry auction at #SothebysNewYork. Watch the moment auctioneer Quig Brunning brought the hammer down on this 8.48-carat, rare vivid green, blue gemstone for $819,200. If you’re looking to consign, get started with your valuation at the link in bio.
