Seems expensive for a polished lump of coal.

Also this,

it will sell to the highest bidder no matter the price, but Sotheby’s says it expects to fetch between $4.1 million and $6.8 million, given today’s robust market for gemstones.

In a twist on typical auctions, Sotheby’s will accept cryptocurrency for the diamond - https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2022/01/17/you-can-buy-the-largest-diamond-ever-auctioned-a-555-carat-black-gem-with-crypto-photos/?sh=27ce33572540

It's certainly a better store of cash than a saving's account.

Kind of cool, just not as nice as other gems.

I'm still waiting for king's tears, rogue stones and star sapphires.

Star sapphires exist. Picture

Unless you mean you want an absurd-sized one. The impurities that make the "star" of a star sapphire would probably cause it to crumble at any significant size.

Looks like a goddamn Pokemon evolution stone.

It really doesn't look all that different than Anthracite (or anthracitic coal). Maybe in the hardness or crystalline structure? Not sure how it's relevant here, anyways.
