This incredible stone was displayed in an exhibition in New York. The unusual color makes the diamond stand out among all other jewelry.

An almond-sized diamond exceeds 20 carats. It was discovered in the Orapa mine in Botswana in May 2018.

This stone is named after the company that mined it-this diamond is named

<h2> Knowledge about diamonds

Diamonds are cut and polished diamonds. These gems are the hardest gems on earth and are usually used to make technical tools. Diamonds are mined in India, South America and Brazil.

Although it is widely believed that diamonds are so expensive because of their rarity, in fact, approximately 26 tons of these diamonds are mined each year. The high price of jewellery is determined by large monopoly companies that own most of the production.

Due to the incorporation of boron derived from seawater, an incredible Okavango blue hue is obtained. Boron is usually not found deep in the formation of minerals, and diamonds absorb more nitrogen than other substances.

However, the blue diamond changed the rules of the game and obtained more boron than scientists thought. There is almost no nitrogen in Okavango Blue.

The movement of tectonic plates may cause boron from seawater to enter the place where diamonds are formed.

The phenomenon of boron-containing water entering the lithosphere (where minerals are formed) is called subduction.

When the tectonic plates in the ocean naturally contact the continent and slide under it, the boron from the ocean will fall deeper into the transition zone. The trace will eventually penetrate the lithosphere and may eventually appear in the diamond.

According to geologist George Harlow, scientists only learned about subduction 50 years ago, so Okavangolan opened up new possibilities for studying this phenomenon.

Scientists still can’t understand why unique diamonds have this color-usually diamonds with lower nitrogen values ​​look different.

We really don't understand why there is so little nitrogen. Harlow said diamonds with a lot of nitrogen are light yellow, so the near-perfect Okavango is a huge discovery.
