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 0.1 percent of Argyle's annual output of some 35 million carats. The world market bought 47 pinks in 1999 at an average price over $100,000 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. Technically, the stone is 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.
