24.01.2022 How did this natural diamond crystal form in the earth? Just take a look inside to see for yourself! This 1.05-carat Fancy gray-greenish yellow diamond crystal ...has been lightly polished, allowing you to see inside. It contains a striking cloud of many small inclusions that form a 3D outline of an octahedron. Like many diamonds, this one grew as an octahedral crystal, but at one point in its growth history, this crystal trapped a myriad of micro-sized inclusions all along the edges of the octahedron. The exact reason why clouds like this sometimes form is not fully understood, but this geometric cloud gives us a sort of snapshot of what the growing crystal once looked like. A similar phenomenon is occasionally seen in quartz, in the form of phantom crystals enclosed within larger crystals. Photo: Jian Xin (Jae) Liao/GIA. See more

24.01.2022 A wee gem... The Darya-i-Noor is the largest pink diamond and one of the largest cut diamonds on the planet. Though the exact weight is unknown, it’s estimated ...around a massive 182 carats. The stone is valued at $16.5 billion. Supposedly the Darya-i-Noor was once part of a larger diamond that was cut in two. The smaller piece is now with the Iranian Crown Jewels, but the larger stone? While its exact location has sparked debate, Iran claims it is currently stored in their Central Bank. The sparkler was originally mined in India and owned by Mughal emperors before Iran invaded the country and took the gem, along with other precious treasures. We know that in its time, the Darya-i-Noor has been worn as an armband, a brooch, and a decoration on military hats.

21.01.2022 Egg-stravaganza. What do you think of this egg-straordinary collection of gemstone eggs? These eggs were created by Dieter Jerusalem, a master cutter from Idar-...Oberstein, Germany. It took him 40 years to collect, cut and polish 850 gem and mineral eggs! Many are made from rare or unusual materials or from deposits that have been mined out. These eggs were on display at the GIA Museum in Carlsbad in 2012. According to the jeweler who helped coordinate the display so that GIA students could see it, This collection is a really great representation of what Mother Nature is capable of." Gems and minerals represented in this collection include agate from Idar-Oberstein; pink tourmaline from Pala, California; Brazilian morganite and aquamarine; Madagascan green beryl, Nigerian rutilated quartz; Canadian native silver in matrix; Swiss jadeite; and Australian variscite. Phenomenal gemstones, jasper, agate and quartz with unusual inclusions are also represented. Learn more: https://bit.ly/31Oa1qd Photo: (1) Robert Weldon/ GIA; (2-5) Orasa Weldon/ GIA.

18.01.2022 Did you know? In 1904, British scientist Sir William Crookes buried small diamonds in radium bromide salts, an inorganic compound first discovered by Pierre & Marie Curie in 1898. The result? His experiment produced the very first irradiated, & radioactive color-change diamonds!

18.01.2022 Way to glow! The 127.01 carat Asscher cut Portuguese Diamond is an "overblue" diamond. That means its fluorescence is so strong that it looks hazy or oily under... sunlight. When it's exposed to UV light, it lights it up even more! While diamonds with strong fluorescence aren't typically sought after, the intense fluorescence of this diamond combined with its large size makes it remarkable. It is currently on display at the Smithsonian Institution, which traded Harry Winston for it with 3,800 carats of smaller diamonds. That means it was acquired with roughly 30 times its weight in diamonds!

18.01.2022 Eyes on the prize. This 88.22-carat, D-Flawless oval brilliant diamond is Type IIa. What does Type IIa mean? Diamonds are separated into four primary types--Ia,... IIa, Ib and IIb. Only 2% of diamonds are Type lla. They have no measurable nitrogen or boron impurities and because they are so pure, transmit UV and visible light that type I diamonds block. Colorless type lla diamonds are exceptionally transparent and were often compared to water. That means this D-Flawless, Type IIa diamond is about as perfect as nature and human craftsmanship can make it! A Japanese private collector purchased it for US$13.8 million in 2019. He named the stone ‘Manami Star’ after his eldest daughter. What a dazzling namesake! Image 2 shows the diamond compared to a pigeon egg.

11.01.2022 A diamond in full bloom. The Victorian Orchid Diamond is one of the rarest diamonds in the world due to its purple color (graded Fancy Vivid Purple by GIA) and ...size (1.64 cts). The cause of the purple color in diamonds is a mystery, but it is thought to be caused by post growth plastic deformation of the diamond crystal structure due to high pressure after its growth. Whatever the cause, the result is the same--a wonder of nature. L.J. West Diamonds named this diamond the Victorian Orchid after the Victorian orchid craze--termed "orchidelirium"--that occurred when cultivating and collecting orchids became an obsession with the wealthy in Victorian England. The name of this diamond is meant to convey that it is rare, "strongly desired and irresistible...often sought after but rarely found." Courtesy: L.J. West Diamonds See more

04.01.2022 Rattled by this diamond? We are! Dubbed the matryoshka diamond after the iconic Russian nesting dolls, this green diamond found in Siberia has a smaller diamo...nd nested inside. The smaller diamond can rattle around freely! GIA's top scientists analyzed this fascinating find and determined that over millions or billions of years, the diamond material inside the larger diamond dissolved out through two etched channels that extend from the diamond's internal cavity to its surface. The diamond material that remained formed into a small, 0.03 carat diamond crystal that is entirely detached from its host crystal. Natural radiation also turned the diamond green. This is the first discovery of its kind! Learn more: https://bit.ly/31TY9CY Video by Towfiq Ahmed/GIA See more

04.01.2022 Something blue... The Logan Sapphire Originally from Sri Lanka, this 423-carat violet blue sapphire is roughly the size of an egg. It belonged to a Washington, D.C., socialite, Mrs. Polly Logan, who donated the stone to the Smithsonian’s collection in 1960.

03.01.2022 A spectrum of sapphires. This line-up shows cut sapphires next to rough of similar color. Sapphires belong to the corundum group, which forms in a trigonal crys...tal structure, which explains the spindle-like shape of these rough gems. Corundum comes in all the colors of the rainbow, and most varieties are called sapphires. While blue sapphire is simply known as sapphire, other colors of sapphire are referred to as fancy sapphires and called by their color name--pink sapphire, orange sapphire etc. The only exception is red corundum, which is called ruby. Sapphire is the September birthstone. What do you think--should September babies get to claim all the colors of sapphire or only blue sapphires as their birthstone?
