The color is rich...  thick and syrupy. It reminds me of Tia Maria (or at least the way I remember...it has been awhile)!

Sorry guys- I forgot to put the vitals in- I fixed it. Sometimes I get called away in the middle of a post...
I was also going to mention that I was wearing a dark grey shirt and khaki shots- so there's no "clothing factor" here.
Still , I see the a green ( which resembles blue) color....

The GIA report is for color only- I called it Blue Fluorescence- - but it is might be White

Holy cow, what an amazing stone! So unique, such a cool color!!! What an awesome find; David, your sources are amazing! hail

Hey David, does this diamond change color with different temperatures? Or just from different viewing angles? I think I've read somewhere that chameleons are heat sensitive for color change, but there must be more to it...I swear I see significant changes in the MPDs just from the angle I'm looking from and the lightening conditions. Are those chameleons too?

That EC!  OH DEARY ME!  It's going to be the end of me!  My asscher is graded exactly the same color so I can HIGHLY recommend a step cut in such a hue.  Someone snap it up!

Just stopping back to stare at that new green rad again, its color is lovely.  Cheesy

Hey D, I was wondering what color the stone changes when in the dark or heated? david

HI Everyone!!

The GIA report has the following statement:
The color of this stone changes temporarily when heated, or left in darkness for a period of time and is known in the trade as a "CHAMELEON"

We just consulted with someone from GIA about this diamond.
Pure Green ( without a modifying color such as yellow or gray) are extremely rare- even more so as a chameleon.


To trigger the color change we'd need to keep the stone in darkness for a few days. After exposing it to light we'd see the change.

Here's a new shot I took this afternoon....

How could the stone be set to enhance the greenish bluish color?

 Huh? Mikla

Good question!

There's different schools of thought there.

I find that putting pink diamonds next to a stone of this color may bring out the color ....
But there's really not a lot of stones like this- so it's basically trial and error......

David, I just adore that stone.  Would you possibly be showing us some stones next to this one so we can see which make it look more greenish/bluish?   Evil

HI All

Here you go Mikla!

I just happened to have a pair of traps -H color- on my desk.
I probably wouldn't choose these, but here you go!

Plus- the Youtube...

Hi everyone.
When we buy the diamonds, there is a selection process.
Today a cutter we love came by with about 100 diamonds for me to look at.
I just picked out 7 stones- some we will keep, and others will go back.

There's 2 four carat diamonds:
a 4.04 Fancy Light Yellow Radiant, with GIA Report ( color origin, it's an SI2)
a 4.21 Brownish Yellow ( No GIA yet) Radiant- this one is clean- probably VS1
Plus some smaller ones
a 2.15 lovely modified princess cut in Faint - Light Yellow
a 1.42 fancy Grayish Greenish Yellow ( GIA) Radiant Cut
a 2.01 Fancy Brownish Yellow (GIA) Radiant
a gorgeous 2.12 Fancy Dark Brown Emerald Cut ( I think it has GIA)

and last but not least, a sweet l'il .70 Radiant.
I believe the GIA report call it: Light Green. It's also identified as a Chameleon.

Photos and more info tomorrow......


 david

Did I miss something?  I don't recall seeing anything further on the 4.04 Fancy Light Yellow Radiant or the 4.21 Brownish Yellow Radiant.  Maybe they were on another thread or they went back to the cutter?

The 4.21 is in this thread, and I'm sure I saw it for sale on the DBL site - perhaps it's sold.

I'm not sure about the 4.04, but I recall vaguely David saying something about cut not being up to scratch. Though perhaps I'm confusing it with a sapphire. Too many stones around here; I feel stoned sometimes. Grin

omc- you do look a little beat up- have you fallen off any cliffs lately?

I really do love both the 4.21 as well as the 4.04- Actually I've been struggling because we're only going to stock one and I'm having a devil of a time choosing!

Oh, David, what a terrible dilemma! Send them both to me... I'll keep them for awhile, study and gaze at each daily, and I'll return the "keeper" back to you in a few months. I'll just pocket the "looser stone" as compensation for my irrefutable aide in your decision making.  Evil
