Rio Tinto brings rare pink diamonds to HK as it entices Chinese buyers

A mining giant is showcasing dozens of the world’s rarest diamonds in Hong Kong, as it seeks to tap into the booming Chinese jewellery market.

The 75 pink, red and blue diamonds are being shown at a private exhibition by Anglo-Australian mining firm Rio Tinto, which unearthed a huge 12.76-carat pink diamond in Australia in February -- the largest of the precious stones ever found in the country. The diamond, named the Argyle Pink Jubilee, is not on display, but has been donated to a museum.
