Among gemstones, diamond is the birthstone for April, and today let's talk about a gemstone that I find difficult to fall in love with: the red diamond.
We all know that red diamonds are very rare in nature, but most red diamonds are relatively small and less than 1 carat. In order to appreciate the beauty of red diamonds, you have to keep your eyes open to see them clearly.
Red diamonds are a "quiet luxury" for me, and I really wish they could be bigger, because size is very important for gemstones.
Also, about the color of red diamonds, most red diamonds are pink instead of red, because its color is not from trace elements, but caused by some catastrophic geological movements, such as: tsunamis, earthquakes that damage the crystal structure, causing the gemstones to distort the light to some extent, so you can see the red color of the gemstones.
Most "red" diamonds come in two colors, and its second color is predominantly yellowish-brown, but some can also be purple or orange.
What we see here is a 1.56ct red diamond from Argyle, which is a beautiful red color and has no terrible brown color. The Argyle mine is located in the seismic zone from Indonesia to Australia, so it is also a major producer of red diamonds.
The most famous red diamond we know of is the Red Shield Diamond, also known as the Moussaief Diamond, which was discovered in Brazil in 1960 and is the largest known red diamond (5.11 carats).
There is also the 5.05 carat "red diamond" found in South Africa, later renamed "Kazanji", which has a tortuous history, having been stolen by the Nazis in the 20s of the 20th century and later appeared at auction, when it was mistaken for a ruby.
The Hancock Red Diamond, a 0.95 carat red diamond, was sold by the Sultan of Brunei for $880,000 at Christie's in 1987, the highest price per carat at a diamond auction at the time.
Red diamonds are one of the rarest types of colored diamonds. In the entire world, only a small number of diamonds with a pure red hue are found throughout the year. The main source of these red diamonds is the Argyle Mine in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, and the Argyle Mine produces red diamonds from the Argyle Mine. But now that the Argyle mine is closed, red diamonds are now extremely scarce.
