Trying to locate a particular asterism

Can anyone help me with this.

Many years ago I was shown a small asterism which was affectionately called "the five of diamonds", because it contained 5 faint stars in the form of the 5 diamonds on the playing card.

From memory it was in the Carina-Crux-Centaurus area, and definitely a binocular object, guessing all mag 7-8.

Any help appreciated.

hoo roo,

Steve
