HONG KONG — The largest ruby in the world to come to auction will be offered by Sotheby's in New York in June, the auction house said at a recent preview in Hong Kong, and is estimated to achieve more than $30 million. That would probably make the 55.22-carat gem, known as the Estrela de Fura, the most expensive ruby ever sold at auction, said Uni Kim, a specialist in Sotheby's jewellery department in the Asian financial capital. 'It is from Mozambique, which is also one of the new and more popular origins that we see for rubies, apart from the more traditional and the classic Burmese pieces,' Kim added.
