secondary hues or modifiers, is so unusual that most people, jewelers
included, will never encounter one.

3. During their formation deep below the Earth’s surface, a tiny percentage of
diamonds is exposed to natural radioactivity and develops a green
coloration, with exposure times that can number in the millions of years.

4. » When bombarded by alpha particles present in uranium compounds,
green spots on the surface of diamonds, or may sometimes produce thin
green coatings that are easily removed during the faceting process.
» However, if the diamond is exposed to beta rays, gamma rays or
neutrons, the odds rise that the green color will penetrate the entire
stone turning it green. That said, finding a diamond that is completely
green is extremely rare.

5. » Green rough diamonds are mined in Brazil, South Africa, India, Australia,
DRC, Ghana and Siberia. A colored diamond’s value is usually determined
by the purity of its hue - the purer the hue, the greater the value.
» The one exception to this general rule is natural green diamonds that
contain blue as a secondary color - these diamonds are even rarer than
pure greens, and are therefore priced much higher.

6. » The largest green natural diamond known to be in existence today is the
Dresden Green.
» The earliest known reference to its existence occurred in the 18 th century
in a London newspaper.
» It is believed that the Dresden Green originated in India and was
purchased by Frederick Augustus the Second from a gem merchant at the
Leipzig Fair in 1742.
» The Dresden Green weighs 40.7 carats and has been classified “apple-
green” in color. This mesmerizing stone draws its name from the capital
of Saxony, where it has been on display for over 200 years in the Green
Vault at the Dresden Castle.
