Please note when viewing high quality gemstones on the net there are certain limitations:

  1. Most monitors display images at varying dots per inch (dpi) and are not color-corrected.
  2. GIF and JPEG formats compromise quality.
  3. Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers can only "see" 216 of 256 colors.
Since every system, browser, and monitor is different, we don't know if what you and we see are the same.

NGC Comment: How rare are Australian pink diamonds? Argyle is the world's premier source of pink diamonds, yet these rare, intensely colored gems represent less than 1/10 of 1% percent of Argyle's annual output (20-25 million carats.) The world market bought 65 pinks in 2007.
This is an old stone back for liquidation from an estate. The owner's of this stone have reduced the price from $55,000 per carat to $44,000 per carat. This .50 octagon has received the coveted fancy intense purplish pink grade at the GIA Gem Trade Laboratory. What this means is that the primary color is pink and the secondary modifier is purple. You do not have to use your imagination to see this strong color. Unlike many fancy shaped and fancy colored diamonds, it does not "bowtie" or "die" in the middle of the stone. Many would sell this stone as SI2 or SI3 clarity. Technically, the stone is accurately graded as Imperfect One (I1). However, you must remember, it is the inclusions that give this stone its desirable color. Also, the inclusions are white, not black. The ultimate collectible for a colored diamond connoisseur.
