Alrosa has launched an exhibition of rare polished colored diamonds, including a 14.83-carat pink that is the largest of its color in Russian history.
The oval-shaped stone was cut from a 27.85-carat rough that the company recovered in 2017 from its Ebelyakh mine in Yakutia. The miner’s largest pink diamond prior to the discovery weighed 3.86 carats.
The collection also includes an Asscher-cut, 20.69-carat, deep-yellow diamond, cut from a 34.17-carat rough. A cushion-cut, pink-purple diamond weighing 11.06 carats will also be on display. It is recognized by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) as the largest of its color in the world, the miner added.
Due to the size and fancy hues of the stones Alrosa has recovered, the company believes it can gain a strong position in the colored-diamond market. Many thanks to Rapaport Diamond Report.
