DID YOU KNOW? The famous large pink diamond known as the 'Pink Panther' from the series of films The Pink Panther starring Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers) is not real. But pink diamonds are the world's most rare and valuable diamond. The Argyle mine in Australia is the world's foremost source of unrivalled intense pink diamonds, producing 95% of the world's supply. However, an extremely small proportion of Argyle Diamonds production is Pink colour, in fact less than one tenth of 1% is classified Pink.

There are however some very large diamonds similar to the Pink Panther that do exist such as the very rare Harry Winston 12.04 carat pink diamond. It was the largest round fancy intense pink diamond to appear at auction and sold for $17.4 million at Christies in Hong Kong in 2012.
