Argyle violet diamonds are among the rarest gems on Earth, exclusively sourced from the now-closed Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia. In over 30 years of production, the Argyle mine produced only 12 carats of polished violet diamonds. Unlike most diamonds that get their color from trace elements, violet diamonds are hydrogen-rich, which creates their unique lavender and grape hues.
Most Argyle violets are small, typically under 0.20 carats; stones over 1 carat are “virtually unheard of”. The largest and most famous is the 2.83-carat deep grayish bluish violet diamond unearthed in 2015.
