Pink diamond
Argyle diamond mine is located in Northern Western Australia. It produces more than 90 percent of the world's pink diamonds; 0.1% of diamonds in the mine are classified as pink. Pink diamonds come in shades ranging from pastel roses, like Pink Orchids, to intense violet-red like Moussaieff Red Diamond. The price is determined by the intensity of the color. Pink diamond has sold up to $ 1,000,000 carats. Unlike Type I diamonds, which derive their color from dirt, pink diamonds are Type II and get their color from a process known as plastic deformation.
Diamond type II hardly contains nitrogen in it. Their color is due to structural anomalies caused by Plastic Deformation during crystal growth. Strong pressure changes the diamond grille structure and leads to the formation of pink, red, and brown diamonds. Only one of the 66 largest diamonds in the world is pink.
