Frank, as you may have suspected, it happens I have one such coloured diamonds website hotlink in my golfbag (as posted before)! ;) The general page (wherefrom each of the next links can be found): colored-diamonds.com Click on 'Price Graphs' in the left column ( colored-diamonds.com ) for "Price History Graphs for Various Fancy Colored Diamonds", including several graphs for each of the following: Fancy Yellow Diamond Price Graphs colored-diamonds.com Fancy Blue Diamond Price Graphs colored-diamonds.com Fancy Pink Diamond Price Graphs colored-diamonds.com ----- ------ ----- Check out this page, "*1970 vs. 1998": colored-diamonds.com* Great pictures to boot!! eg, 3 ct. Fancy Intense Yellow Radiant Diamond Value in 1970: $5800.00 Value in 1998: $66,000.00 --- Bit 'O money in them thar fancies! - - - - Plenty more at the site, including, "Introduction to Fancy Color Diamonds": colored-diamonds.com Although this website is devoted to the education of the consumer about white diamonds, it must be at least noted that not all diamonds are white. In fact, diamonds occur naturally in virtually all colors including blue, pink, green, orange, red, purple, black, yellow and brown. They also occur in combinations such as orange/pink, grey/blue and yellow/brown. Other than the color brown, natural colored diamonds are much rarer than white diamonds - and they can be so expensive per carat that they make white diamonds look cheap. The most expensive one carat white diamond, a "D" Internally Flawless round stone has a wholesale list price of around $16,500 per carat. By contrast a fancy blue or pink, Internally Flawless stone can run from $100,000 - $150,000 per carat, depending on the beauty of the stone. Many people do not realize that diamonds come in colors other than white, but if you ask most people to name famous diamonds, they usually mention the Hope and the Tiffany. The hope is a deep blue and the Tiffany is a bright yellow. In fact, the only white diamonds that some people can name is the Cullinan I and II which are in the British crown scepter and Queen's crown respectively. - - - - Also, "Basics of Diamond Grading": white-diamonds.com (lotsa info!!) ______ regards, -j :> PS, ... possible news from Ashton pretty darn soon???

Hi guys, As much as I like all your guesses, I think it would be wiser if we let this subject go back to sleep. The reason why I do not like this guessing game is because it puts very high expectations on Ashton. The pression does not come from the people who post their guesses but from all the lurkers who are in for some fast money. They look at all the high guesses and they look at the low guesses. I would definitely want to expect the higher guesses so when they are a TAD lower than the highest guess, BOOM, the stock falls for no apparent reason. We get good news without any price increase. I hope I make sense and I also hope I did not frustrate anybody because it was not my intention. Just my thoughts (at three in the morning!) while I am silently hoping for a good news release. Regards, Chris K.
