Pure (type IIa) diamond can be colored pink, red, or, brown owing to structural anomalies arising through plastic deformation during crystal growth; [20] these diamonds are rare (1.8% of gem diamonds), but constitute a large percentage of Australian diamonds. Type IIb diamonds, which account for ~0.1% of gem diamonds, are usually a steely blue ...
This is a partial list of the largest non-synthetic diamonds with a rough stone (uncut) weight of over 200 carats (40 grams). [1] The list is not intended to be complete—e.g., the Cullinan (formerly Premier) mine alone has produced 135 diamonds larger than 200 carats since mining commenced.
This is a list of countries by diamond production, based on data reported by the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. Diamond production [1] (million carats)
"We can’t get at them, but still, there is much more diamond there than we have ever thought before." ... 10 16 tons of diamond, or over 1,000 times more than previously thought.
The production and distribution of diamonds is largely consolidated in the hands of a few key players, and concentrated in traditional diamond trading centers, the most important being Antwerp, where 80% of all rough diamonds, 50% of all cut diamonds and more than 50% of all rough, cut and industrial diamonds combined are handled.

How much does a car weigh? The average car weight in 2022 was 4,094 pounds, according to a report from the Environmental Protection Agency. However, what is considered a normal weight will depend ...

It was characterized as M on the diamond color scale; this nominally corresponds to a faint yellow color, but the visual impression of Uncle Sam has been ...
