One is yellow and clear and may be a fancy.

I am betting long on Ab diamonds. So far they are as good as South African.

Shall I tell you the characteristics of the richest largest pipe ever found? It is called the Premier. Its grade is 30 carats per hundred tons. It has no micros and rare small diamonds. Its diamonds are not peridotitic but eclogitic. Pyrope in the pipe is rare. Once ever 200 tons is produces a wedding ring diamond that is VVSI. That means very very slightly imperfect. That type of diamond is white, clear, and sells for about 3,000 dollars US. They used to test whether they would mine certain levels (It is an underground mine)by doing 10,000 ton bulk samples. Now they just mine everything. It has been open for 100 years and has produced 100 billion dollars worth of diamonds.

Keep an open mind grasshopper. You are just starting to see the picture that I developed 20 years ago. Don't keep going down blind alleys. Go with the larger hiway. It may be a road less travelled but it never ends.
