I remember turning pale green many times myself, but was never offered any carats for it at all. Generally involved consumption of too much tequila, rum, or vodka. Although streams were seldom involved, the toilet was more than once, resulting in a technicolor stream of chunkers in a modern alluvial channel (ggggggggggggggggggggggggg)

teevee, "Giving a high price/carat to a pale green diamond would be akin to calling a cape diamond a canary yellow:-)) I just wanted to clear up something that was not meant or intended."

Huh? Someone asked about colored stone values and I posted what I had. I wasn't making any connections. I understand there are varying gradations in colors and merely calling something pink, or red, or blue/green does not convey what the diamondares see and understand. Besides, there is a lot that happens between the sale of rough colored stones and their eventual auction/retail sale in cut 'n polished condition. One can not work backwards from what I posted. Too bad there are no general reference source for sales of rough colored stones. Such stones, however, are rare enough it's hardly worth discussion. Further, if they are found in commercial sizes at JI, odds suggest there will not be enough to make all that much difference. I will happily be proven wrong, but no one should be expecting otherwise.
