You are a Purple Diamond

Purple Diamonds is one of the rarest and most desirable colors’. A purple diamond recently assessed by the British Gemological Institute has been estimated to be worth over £14 million, and to be the most valuable natural object in existence on a weight for weight basis. This stone weighs between four and five carats. There is a larger purple diamond on display at a Paris museum, but its color is paler. Purple diamonds got unprecedented attention after basketball superstar Kobe Bryant gave his wife an 8-carat purple diamond costing $4 million as an atonement gift shortly after being charged with sexual assault. In the diamond world there are still questions about the reality of there being an 8-carat natural purple diamond when any size stone with this color is extremely rare. Hopefully it will be put on display in a museum some day so more diamond lovers can get a glimpse of this one of a kind gem.
