Physical properties
Mohs hardness of 10, pale to deep pink color, adamantine luster, isometric crystal system, perfect octahedral cleavage.
Formation & geological history
Formed deep within the Earth's mantle under extreme pressure and temperature over billions of years, brought up by deep-source volcanic eruptions.
Uses & applications
Used primarily in high-end luxury jewelry, investment portfolios, and industrial cutting tools.
Geological facts
Pink color is caused by lattice defects and plastic deformation during crystal growth rather than trace elements. They are among the rarest and most valuable colored diamonds in the world.
Field identification & locations
Extremely rare in nature, historically found mainly in the Argyle mine in Australia, and identified by high thermal conductivity and adamantine brilliance.
