Diamonds:
There is nothing like a Diamond. It is the Hardest material (almost 140 times harder than its nearest gemstone) and is named after the Greek word 'Adamas' which means 'Unconquerable'.
This is also why it is used in Engagement rings as it symbolises 'Everlasting'.

Unlike other gemstones, its primary perfection is based on LACK of colour. The pure colourless or White is the most Valuable, although many shades of Yellow are common.
Famous Diamonds are sometimes highly coloured (known as 'Fancy' in the Trade) such as the bright Green Dresden Diamond or the Blue Hope Diamond in the Smithsonian Institute, Washington.
Only about 20% of Diamonds can be used in Jewellery and these are Valued by utilising the 4 C's of Colour, Cut, Clarity and Carat weight.

Colored Diamond Values Question:
Hello, last week I found a 1.34Ct rootbeer colored diamond, cubic in shape with slight valley like fissures.
Stone reflects metallic with rootbeer flashes.
Would a stone such as this have a higher value to a collector, or to have, “someone professional?” evaluate it?
