藍色鑽石

藍色鑽石最早在印度的Golconda礦區被發現,現在世界主要的產地是澳大利亞和南非,澳大利亞的Argyle鑽石礦區出產優質的藍鑽,南非的Cullinan礦區也有高品質的藍色鑽石。純正的藍鑽迄今為止十分稀少,其稀有程度僅次於純正的紅色鑽石,物以稀為貴,所以藍色鑽石的價值遠超過普通的無色鑽石,和其他比較常見的棕色和黃色鑽石。如果藍鑽的顏色飽和度和亮度比較好,顏色比較純正,其價格更是以指數級的方式增長。

Argyle藍色鑽石礦區

由於鑽石在形成過程中,受到了其他元素的摻雜,硼原子可以在鑽石內部形成受子能帶,此能帶可以吸收自然光的長波段的可見光,所以此種鑽石呈現藍色,天然的藍色鑽石十分稀有,一顆非常小的藍鑽可以以數万的價值來衡量,當然價格還受克拉重量,飽和度和色彩亮度的影響。

如果你喜歡天空的蔚藍和大海的深邃,不妨收藏一顆天然藍色鑽石吧,人工合成的藍鑽和天然的藍色鑽石價格相差很大,購買藍鑽時一定要避免買到人工處理過的鑽石,認准對應的GIA鑽石等級證書,天然鑽石會標明natural的字樣,對於Argyle產地的鑽石,腰棱上還有Argyle的鐳射編碼。如果預算有限或者不喜歡純正的藍色,也可以選擇藍紫色,藍灰色,藍綠色的鑽石。
