    The Wittelsbach-Graff and Hope Diamonds: Not Cut from the Same Rough

    THE WITTELSBACH-GRAFF AND HOPE DIAMONDS: NOT CUT FROM THE SAME ROUGH Eloïse Gaillou, Wuyi Wang, Jeffrey E. Post, John M. King, James E. Butler, Alan T. Collins, and Thomas M. Moses Two historic blue diamonds, the Hope and the Wittelsbach-Graff, appeared together for the first time at the Smithsonian Institution in 2010. Both diamonds were apparently purchased in India in the 17th century and later belonged to European royalty. In addition to the parallels in their histo- ries, their comparable color and bright, long-lasting orange-red phosphorescence have led to speculation that these two diamonds might have come from the same piece of rough. Although the diamonds are similar spectroscopically, their dislocation patterns observed with the DiamondView differ in scale and texture, and they do not show the same internal strain features. The results indicate that the two diamonds did not originate from the same crystal, though they likely experienced similar geologic histories. he earliest records of the famous Hope and Adornment (Toison d’Or de la Parure de Couleur) in Wittelsbach-Graff diamonds (figure 1) show 1749, but was stolen in 1792 during the French T them in the possession of prominent Revolution.

  • Turquoise: the Cerrillos Mineral Gem

    Turquoise: the Cerrillos Mineral Gem

    A Living History Museum Turquoise: The Cerrillos Mineral Gem The mines of Cerrillos, New Mexico produce a particularly beautiful blue/ green variety of turquoise, so stunning in fact that they have been mined for roughly the last 3,000 years! Chemically, it is a phosphate of aluminum carrying small quantities of copper and iron and a green mineral, variscite. These give the gemstone its color as well as its value and beauty. This is the only phosphate that is considered a precious stone. Ancestral Puebloans first started mining the Cerrillos hills circa 900 BCE, and it’s been mined ever since. This “gem” of a mineral has been found across the state, and archaeological evidence shows it’s been mined and fashioned into ornaments and jewelry for centuries, with remnants found at one of the most ancient sites in the state, Chetro Ketl at Chaco Canyon. Southwest indigenous groups call turquoise chalchihuitl, as did the ancient peoples of Mexico and Central America who used the same word to describe jade or green turquoise. One of the hills still being mined in Cerrillos still bears the name, Mount Chalchihuitl. Combined with shell and coral from the California coast acquired in trade, turquoise jewelry itself became a valued commodity. Spanish settlers didn’t have much interest in turquoise as they were looking for what they considered a more important prize, namely gold and silver. In fact, outside of local indigenous groups, other cultural groups weren’t much interested in it and it didn’t really gain popularity with the American cultural at large until the 1890s.

The lead article in this issue examines the history, sources, and gemological characteristics of these diamonds, as well as their distinctive color appearance. Rela- tionships between their color, clarity, and other properties were derived from hundreds of samples—including such famous blue diamonds as the Hope and the Blue Heart (or Unzue Blue)—that were studied at the GIA Gem Trade Laboratory over the past several years. The diamonds shown here range from 0.69 to 2.03 ct. Photo © Harold & Erica Van Pelt––Photographers, Los Angeles, California.

    Two Treated-Color Synthetic Red Diamonds Seen in the Trade

    Two TREATED-COLORSYNTHETIC RED DIAMONDSSEEN IN THE TRADE By Thomas M.Moses, llene Reinitz, Emmanuel Fritsch, andJames E. Shigley - - -- -- -- Two dark brownish red faceted stones, recently submitted to the GIA Gem Trade Laboratory for standard origin-of-color reports, were found to be treat- ed synthetic diamonds. This conclusion was based on observations of: patterns of zoned color, U.V. luminescence, and graining; metallic inclu- sions; and certain bands in the visible- and infrared-range absorption spec- tra. We believe that this is one of the first published reports of treated-color synthetic diamonds seen asfaceted gems. For some of the gemological features desen3ed here, such as visible-grangespectra with sharp absorption bands, this is one of the first reported occurrences in gemquality synthetic diamonds. In early July 1993, a diamond dealer submitted a 0.55- gemological properties indicated that both had been ct dark brownish orangy red diamond (figure 1, left) to color enhanced subsequent to synthesis. the New York office of the GIA Gem Trade Laboratory To date, the GIA Gem Trade Laboratory has (GIA GTL) for a standard origin-of-color report. examined only a very few faceted synthetic diamonds According to the client, this round brilliant-cut stone that were submitted by members of the jewelry indus- had been obtained on memo from a dealer in Bombay, try for a laboratory report (see also the brief mention India.
