Tips to Choose Blue Diamonds - Sense of Beauty

Blue diamonds are very rare and natural beauty for over many centuries. They are found in countries like India, Brazil, Indonesia, and South Africa. In India, they are found in the Kollur deposits. The famous 112-carat great blue diamond is a classic example of these diamonds, which was cut into a 45.52 carat Hope Diamond. It is extracted from the Kollur deposits. The color of the diamond is due to the presence of a chemical element called boron. The shades of the blue diamond vary with the presence of tint of this blue color mineral. In such means, the shades of these costly stones naturally occurring are ice blue, sky blue, and ocean blue. These stones with slight tint of this blue color are ice blue diamonds. Sky blue diamonds are fairly brighter with little more tint than the ice blue diamonds. Ocean blue is the darkest of the three shades; it is deep blue with rich tint. An ice blue diamond begins with a white polished diamond and so considered very expensive. Comparatively, ocean blue diamonds begin as a brown diamond shaped and are not as expensive as the ice blue ones, but are reasonably medium priced.
