Theoratically just 1 of all diamonds mined fall into the Type 1B category. These are the canary diamonds that are coloured by a single nitrogen atom as opposed to nitrogen clusters that colour Type IA diamonds and that are not quite as saturated.

However, even within the elite world of Type 1A stones there are various levels of colour intensity. The GIA bestows the term vivid on gems that are far superior in hue, tone and saturation than most yellow diamonds seen on the market.

The 7.04 cts gem offered for sale is one such example. With an extremely intense and yet pleasing colour and with a perfect rectangular-cut to match it is a true canary diamond and a rare collectible for the gem connoisseur.
