Colored diamonds are some of the rarest treasures on Earth. In fact, only about 1 in 10,000 diamonds displays a fancy color. Among the rarest of the rare is this 10.03-carat fancy yellow diamond that has been graded internally flawless by the Gemological Institute of America, meaning the stone is near the pinnacle of diamond clarity. The rectangular brilliant-cut stone, which is set in a platinum and 18k gold ring, is flanked by triangular-cut diamonds weighing a total of 3.26 carats.

This iconic prop is the only screen-used hero “flying” wooden hoverboard from Back to the Future Part II. Signed by Michael J. Fox and writer-producer Bob Gale, it is the very hoverboard Marty McFly borrows from a little girl to escape a beating at the hands of Griff Tannen (Thomas Wilson) and his gang of brutes. The “Mattel” hoverboard comes from Fox’s stunt double Charlie Croughwell, who is donating 50 percent of the proceeds to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
