The reason for the coloration of pink diamonds is different from that of other colored stones. It is caused by carbon atom misalignment or internal lattice distortion. Yes, this rare beauty comes from nature's mistakes. Red and brown diamonds are also produced as a result of changes in the internal structure of the diamond.

Small science: Pure diamonds are made entirely of carbon. If a small amount of trace elements in the crystal occupy some carbon atoms, such trace elements can produce body color in the diamond. For example, if the nitrogen element (N) is present, a bright yellow diamond appears; if the natural diamond is absorbed during the formation of a trace amount of boron, the diamond shows blue.

FancyIntense (Dense Color Powder)

FancyDeep (dark color powder)

"Purple Diamond" and "Orange Diamond" have traps, be careful when buying

If someone recommends a purple diamond or an orange diamond with a GIA certificate that identifies "Orange" or "Purplish", don't believe it! Even the authenticity of this certificate needs to be doubted! In the GIA color diamond color grading standard, which is recognized as the most authoritative color diamond grading laboratory in the world, purple and orange-red diamonds belong to the category of pink diamonds. Therefore, if the pink diamond has a purple or orange color, it should be marked as "PurplishPink" or "OrangyPink".

Rio Tinto Group Australia Argyle Pink Diamond Mining Area

It is recorded that about 90% of the world's red and pink diamonds come from the Argyle diamond mine in Western Australia, most of which are small particles with an average weight of 1 carat. Approximately 50 carats of pink diamonds are produced each year - accounting for 0.0001% of total diamond production.

Although the Argyle mining area is the main production area for pink diamonds, most of the well-known pink diamonds are mined in other areas: the largest existing pink diamond – the 186-carat Darya-i-Noor pink diamond has been in the centuries ago. The Kru mine in southern India was excavated.
