Lets not even take polished into account here...
I wonder (and would love to hear some opinions) what would be considered rarer in a gemological sense...

A (high quality shape) rough Diamond crystal..., one is completely colorless "D" ----- one is a pure/clean strong yellow color hue "intense or vivid' potential.

Both are of same weight..., and both are flawless in terms of inclusions at 10X...

Which one is rarer by nature???


thanks

My opinion and not a known to me fact would be that the most rare would be vivid/Intense that can get that grade in a cut other than a radiant.
Followed by ones that will get that grade in a radiant
then D way more plentiful that that.
