Golcondas

[Harriet]

Are Golconda diamonds a subset of Type IIA diamonds, or is the latter a subset of the former,or are they co-extensive?
My interest is piqued because I recently saw a supposed Golconda (D, IF, 8.66ct, cut like the Tiffany Yellow).

Oh man, did you melt?

I''m guessing you''ve googled Golconda diamonds? No answers there?

 

[Harriet]

Yes. I woke Green up to tell her about it.
Yes, no definitive answer.

Here''s a link from PS. I haven''t read it all I confess.. it kind of degenerated into beer references for a little while (Garry H was involved!

)

What are Golconda diamonds

 

[Harriet]

Thanks, Angeline. Gary''s answers imply that Golcondas are a subset of Type IIAs. Gary, ya here?

Subset...

 

[Harriet]

Thanks, Julie.

No worries about waking me up.

It is nice to have thoughts of beautiful jewels first thing in the am! For a colored stone nut like yourself... it is my understanding that there are rare colored gems from this same mine? All That Glitters had some a while back on their site.
