I obtained this sharp, fine diamond crystal from a NYC sight-holder in the diamond trade who knew enough about specimens to pull this from a bath of cutting material. (A sight holder is a company on the Diamond Trading Company's (DTC) list of authorized bulk purchasers of rough diamonds). This fine stone is pristine, and weighs 2.17 carats. It has a definite and eye-visible olive-green color to it. Such a jewel... I had to have it! Originally it was $2000 per carat as a fancy stone. Joe Budd photos.
