Not to be too presumptuous here but even if the auction was still on-going, this may be the closest many of us will get to the real thing. It sold for 3,161,000 GBP (source: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2022/the-enigma-555-55-carat-fancy-black-diamond/the-enigma-a-555-55-carat-fancy-black-diamond)
W T Heck? No Sunday RBION? Well, I had jokes prepared, and perhaps Saturday is just really long this week, so I’m not giving up without sharing at least one of them.
A man met a beautiful girl and he decided he wanted to marry her right away. She protested, “But we don’t know anything about each other.” He replied, “That’s all right; we’ll learn about each other as we go along.”So she consented and they were married, and they went on their honeymoon to a very nice resort.
One morning, they were lying by the pool when he got up off his towel, climbed up to the 30-foot high board and did a two-and-a-half-tuck gainer, entering the water perfectly, almost without a ripple. This was followed by a triple somersault dive in pike position when he again cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on his towel.
She said, “That was incredible."
He said, “I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we’d learn more about ourselves as we went along.”
So she got up, jumped in the pool and started doing laps. She was moving so fast that the ripples from her pushing off at one end of the pool would hardly be gone before she was already touching the other end of the pool. After about thirty laps, completed in mere minutes, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel, barely breathing hard.
He said, “That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?”
“No,” she said, “I was a prostitute in Venice and I worked both sides of the canal."

All the 5s relating to The Enigma are intentional: it’s a cut diamond. It is still exceptionally huge, though.

Is there a Sumo wrestler law against driving, or is it that they are too big to fit into a std. Japanese vehicle? What about a motorcycle?

Evidently, even back then, the straws were not biodegradable or recyclable.
