Fancy Colored Diamond Beauties at the Houston Museum of Natural Science

[kroshka]

I popped in for a quick visit to see the Verdura exhibit and was excited to see they had some fancy colored diamond rings on display as well.

I failed to get the info on the fancy orangey pink diamond, but it is definitely smaller than the fancy deep blue emerald cut that is 14.71 carats and vvs1 clarity. The yellow marquise is 3.6 carats.

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.
I forgot this exhibit was there. I have to go soon.
I think it ends early February.

kroshka, have been to the other gem exhibit?
I think it''s at the Science Museum.
It''s a permanent one.

Hi Bebe, what and where is the other gem exhibit? I saw the Verdura exhibit that was in the Lester and Sue Smith Gem Vault section (and your right, I believe that it will end in Feb). Let me know so I can be sure to check it out
