Diamonds at The Smithsonian

The Smithsonian will soon have a very special exhibit of 7 new
faceted diamonds (found since the 1980s), some of which have never
before been exhibited. All are on loan from different sources and
will never be shown together again. The largest known pink, red and
orange diamonds as well as a 203 carat colorless, 2 blue diamonds and
one yellow one will be in a special case near the Hope Diamond in the
Museum of Natural History. The exhibit runs from June 27-Sept. 15,
2003.
