GENEVA—The largest white diamond ever auctioned will go under the hammer in Geneva next week, part of a sale by Christie’s that features two stones weighing more than 200 karats each.

“The Rock,” a 228.31-karat pear-shaped stone roughly the size of a golf ball, is expected to sell for up to $30 million, the auctioneer said.
