DIAMOND TYPE CLASSIFICATION FOR GIA DIAMOND ORIGIN REPORT #6224866098
Scientists classify diamonds into two main
"types" - type I and type II - based on the
presence or absence of nitrogen which
can replace carbon atoms in a diamond's
atomic structure. These two diamond
types can be distinguished on the basis of
differences in their chemical and physical
properties. Type II diamonds contain little
if any nitrogen and they are subdivided
into two groups (IIa and IIb) both of which
are quite rare (less than 2% of all gem
diamonds).
According to the records of the GIA Laboratory, the 15.31 carat Pear Brilliant diamond
described in GIA Diamond Origin Report #6224866098 has been determined to be a type
IIa diamond. Type IIa diamonds are the most chemically pure type of diamond and often
have exceptional optical transparency. Type IIa diamonds were first identified as
originating from India (particularly from the Golconda region) but have since been
recovered in all major diamond-producing regions of the world.
Among famous gem diamonds, the 530.20 carat Cullinan I and the 105.60 carat Koh-i-noor
are examples of type IIa.
