A targe number of diamonds , says Self- lulture , are white , though a clear , color- PHS , transparent stone Is rarer than might e supposed. Hoeldes white diamonds , there re red , blue , green , yellow , brown , black nd pink ones. Heat often changes the olor , and after awhile the acquired hue be amed permanent. Yellow diamonds perhaps ( ford the greatest variety of shades. Some f them surpass any other gem of that olor. Specimens of canary-colored dla- londa are quite common. If the gem has rose-colored tint It Is very valuable , whllo M ! tints , surpassing the ruby , und considered 10 mwt beautiful cf ail precious gums , are ( ceedlngly rare. A few varieties are on ; cord ; ono weighing ten carats \\as bought Y Rrapcror Paul of Iturela for $100,000 , A nnamon or brown stone Is undesirable , as It I seldom pure.
