  1. Hope Diamond – a grayish blue diamond that originated from India. This precious stone is currently at the Smithsonian National Museum.
  2. Blue Diamonds – a very rare kind of diamond that is originally white in color. But due to heating, it can turn into blue.
  3. Black Diamonds – these are also called the “carbonado”. They come in pea sizes unlike other diamonds.
  4. Pink Diamonds – natural ones are very rare. Often these are painted or irradiated
  5. Yellow Diamonds – these are called “fancy” or “canary” diamonds. These are rare, but are more common than pink or blue. Different colors of yellow diamonds are on the diamond grading charts — the deeper the yellow the more expensive.
