This is a "rare brazilian ballas" according to the diamond trade - this is a fascinating SPHERICAL diamond with no crystal form, measuring 6 mm in diameter and with a smooth surface like a pearl. It is entirely translucent. Ballas are almost impossible to cut because even other diamonds have serious trouble cutting them. (3.75 carats) This Photo was Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 6th Jun 2006
