About Green Diamond

Green diamond is a highly respected color diamond in the color diamond family. Nature gives green diamonds a beautiful color, which represents endurance and stability. Therefore, green diamond accessories can always show low-key, calm, and affinity beauty. .

The green color in a green diamond is the result of the collision of the gemstone with radiation. Natural green diamonds take millions of years to form, and the forming diamonds are usually exposed to uranium mixtures or alpha particles in groundwater. Alpha particles make the surface of the diamond green, but if the diamond encounters beta and gamma rays at the same time, the diamond will appear a deeper green hue. Only a small percentage of diamonds will turn pure green.
