Pink Diamond FAQ
1. What Is A Pink Diamond?

The pink diamond is, rather simply, a diamond that is naturally pink. These diamonds belong to a subcategory called fancy color diamonds – the generic name for all diamonds that have any color. These colorful diamonds range from flawless to included, just like white diamonds do. Several of these diamonds have been discovered with internally flawless clarity, but only one is known to be completely flawless: the Pink Star.
2. How Are They Made?

The source of the pink color is debated in the geological world. Sometimes, fancy colored diamonds get their color from additional elements encountered during formation. For example, yellow diamonds get their color from nitrogen molecules that were mixed in the process, while green diamonds get their color due to radiation. However, this is not the case for pink-shaded diamonds because they do not have impurities in them that could create the color.
There are many theories about where the color comes from, but the most commonly accepted reason is that the enormous pressure undergone by diamonds during formation caused deformities in the crystal resulting in the natural pink shade.
3. Where Are They Found?

Less than 0.01% of all diamond carats mined are quality pink stones. Thus, pink-shaded diamonds are considered some of the rarest diamonds in the world. They are currently mined in countries including Australia, Russia, South Africa, Canada, Tanzania, and Brazil. The largest active mine is the Argyle mine in Australia – owned by the world’s largest mining company, Rio Tinto.
Argyle mine is where about 90% of all pink and red diamonds in the world come from, mining about 40-50 carats annually. The average weight of the rare diamonds quarried at Argyle is around 1 carat, and they sell to collectors and investors from around the world at a single auction every year.
