FCDs - the Butterfly and the Blue Moon

[Starzin]

For those in LA or who can visit! Forgive me if there's already been a "heads up" on this.

The Aurora Butterfly of Peace and the 12-carat Fancy Vivid Blue Moon Diamond are both on display from September 13, 2014 until January 6, 2015?

Wish I lived out there. Good video about the Blue Moon & its cutting here http://corainternational.com/

Kenny -- question for you: how do they make the 3-D repros of diamonds, inclusions & all? Making a model of the outside is understandable but how do they reproduce it all the way through? I have a feeling this is a dumb question; wouldn't be my first.

Thanks for putting this up, Starzin!

What a nice parure that would make.

Wow, amazing Diamonds! I soooo wish I could go and see them in person! But....thanks to the internet and your post, at least I can admire them from afar! Thank you

Good video Laurie - thank you!

Chrono - how I wish

Good question, Laurie.

Sorry, I have no idea how to answer it.
