Unlike traditional colorless diamonds, fancy color diamonds display intense and distinct colors that range from yellow, blue, and pink to more rare and exotic hues like green, purple, and red. These diamonds achieve their stunning colors from the presence of certain chemical elements or structural abnormalities during their formation deep within the Earth's crust. For example; blue diamonds form when there is boron presence in the earths crust!
