Ocean Dream Diamond

 

Ocean Dream Diamond


The Ocean Dream is a diamond measuring 5.51 carats, rated in color as Fancy Deep Blue-Green by the Gemological Institute of America. The Ocean Dream is the only natural diamond known to the GIA to posess its blue-green hue, making it one of the rarest diamonds in the world. After careful study, the GIA concluded that its distinct hue is a result of millions of years of exposure to radiation. The Ocean Dream originated in Central Aftrica, and is currently owned by the Cora Diamond Corporation.

The Ocean Dream was displayed as part of the Smithsonian's "The Splendor of Diamonds" exhibit, alongside the The De Beers Millennium Star, the world’s largest top colour (D) internally and externally flawless pear-shaped diamond at 203.04-carat (40.608 g), The Heart of Eternity, a 27.64-carat heart-cut blue diamond and the [Moussaieff Red Diamond|Moussaieff Red], the world's largest known Fancy Red diamond at 5.51 carats.
