Green Diamonds: What Makes These Gemstones Go Gorgeously Green

Green Diamonds: What Makes These Gemstones Go Gorgeously Green - New World Diamonds - fine jewelry, engagement rings and great gifts

Green-colored diamonds come in various shapes, hues, and clarity grades and are rare, like blue diamonds. Green diamonds have all the characteristics that make them one of the most desirable fancy-color diamonds. Natural diamonds develop green when they’re found underground beneath rocks containing radioactive materials like thorium and uranium. On decaying the radioactive materials, the gemstone emits radiation penetrating the diamond crystals. The carbon atoms or electrons get knocked whenever the radiation enters the diamond, and thus a uniform green color is formed. The displacement of carbon atoms and electrons deforms the diamond crystal lattice and alters how light reflects from the diamond. The green hue in diamonds is caused due to natural irritation or structural defects like the presence of hydrogen, nitrogen, nickel atoms, etc.
