It’s a freaking rock.

I wish I had money like that to blow on something so stupid. But who knows, it may be used for some precision scientific instrument, hopefully not as some decoration jewelry.

It will end up on the finger of some Chinese factory owner’s current mistress.

Instead, I wish I had that rock to sell. Can’t begin to imagine all that I could/would do with the money.

I wish I had the money, but I still wouldn’t buy this.

My understanding is that guys like this, who have their level of wealth and who buy these things, aren’t too concerned about paying too much because it is better to have paid $71 million for a gemstone that falls to $3 million in value, because it’s a bird in the hand thing. More secure than cash.

Seeing as the pictures have it as a ring, I guess your wish for it usage will not be realized.
