That's your right and priviledge Red. He didn't say that the stones found early on were worthless, just that they hadn't continued to be found and in his view would not be significant at Snap as a recurring item.

We had quite a discussion about colored stones and got talking about the most valuable diamond ever sold on a per carat basis. He described it as a 1 carat pink from Argyle at $935,000 per carat and me being cheeky corrected him and said it was only 0.95 cts, and quick as a flash he seid" So you're the Texas millionaire that bought it are you? The only reason I knew was that I had just typed out an article including that information for a post to Spence, on Argyle pinks when the question of large stone valuations first came up.

That's all.

Coloured stones are not valueless...they are less valuable.
If you want the very best you would want a flawless, clear diamond. The more carots the better. I use to know some of the diamond stuff(VVS1,VVS2,VS1,C/C A,B,C,etc) but forgot. I should brush up.
