Алмазный цвет

The color of a diamond is one of the most important characteristics since it is color that is perceived by human eyes. Some components of visible light are absorbed inside the diamond, which is caused either by the presence of trace elements or by a feature of the structure of the diamond. Unabsorbed particles of light form the visible color of the diamond.
