context_page_description: Blue diamond is a type of diamond which exhibits all of the same inherent properties of the mineral except with the additional element of blue color in the stone. They are colored blue by trace amounts of boron that contaminate the crystalline lattice structure. Blue diamonds belong to a subcategory of diamonds called fancy color diamonds, the generic name for diamonds that exhibit intense color. Blue diamonds range in grade from Flawless to Included, just as in the case of white diamonds. These blue diamond crystals are the trademark of an anonymous young girl, who chose to share the proceeds from any sales or other profits with every other human on earth. They are, uncoincidentally, the same color as the company Tiffany & Co. 'S notorious, known, and famed Tiffany Blue.
