Blue diamond is a real luxury for the rich and fearless

Blue diamond is a rare and quite valuable stone. As a percentage, the number of blue crystals is only 0.1 of the total mass of all diamonds mined in the world. To make it clearer, only one stone is found per year that differs in a similar shade.

Blue Diamond

Often a blue diamond is not a masterpiece of nature, but a creation of human hands. Since crystals of this color are rarely found in natural conditions, they are in great demand. In order to at least slightly offset the shortage of such stones on the market, jewelers process all diamonds that have a bluish or bluish tint. This helps give the gems a vibrant color and significantly increases their value.

What is a diamond?

Diamond is found in nature in a transparent form and amazes with its pristine beauty. The structure of the mineral helps it glow and play different colors in the sun. Not all minerals react equally to solar radiation, so not all are used to make jewelry.

Diamond is a rather rare mineral, but its deposits are scattered all over the world. The origin of the diamonds is not known for certain. Scientists believe that they formed underground at a depth of more than 200 km. This happened about 2.5 billion years ago. They came to the surface of the earth during volcanic eruptions. There is a theory of extraterrestrial origin, when they came to earth with meteorites from other planets.

Diamonds are used in various types of human activities: industrial production, electronics, watch making. The main use of the mineral that has brought it such fame is jewelry.

A cut diamond is already a diamond (from the French “sparkling”). There are several types of cuts that are used in jewelry. It depends on the shape of the stone and its color. The cut is:

1. It is given a round shape with 57 edges.
2. Cutting of colored minerals:

• oval;
• pear;
• marquis;
• princess.

When processing stone, 50-60% of its weight is lost. Cutting is hard, responsible work. High-class specialists are engaged in this. Small diamonds are cut in India and China. Large diamonds are cut in the USA, Russia, and Belgium. This is due to payment for cutting work, which costs a lot of money.

Fancy diamonds occupy a special place. This is a rare phenomenon in nature. Minerals have yellow, pink, blue, red colors. Such diamonds are considered works of art and are worth their weight in gold. They are sold through auctions and are found in museums and private collections.

Magic and astrology

If we talk specifically about a blue diamond, then it carries the power of water. The stone is suitable for all those who monitor the condition of their body. The crystal will help increase intuition and recognize a particular disease at an early stage, even if the symptoms of the disease have not yet appeared.

But the gem has not only these qualities; it will help:

• find happiness in life;
• change a person's character;
• strengthen family relationships;
• recognize lies.

Magicians and sorcerers compare the effect of a diamond with the effect of a drug. The gem gives a person not only confidence and additional strength. It makes the owner happier, helps to cope with depression, causeless melancholy and despondency.

Diamond is the hardest mineral on Earth, it makes the owner just as strong and resistant to difficulties. But the trouble is, the stone does not tolerate weak-willed people, it is in no hurry to open up even when the owner is not distinguished by nobility.

Women who are already married should buy diamonds; the stone will help them strengthen their feelings for their spouse and save the family from quarrels and scandals.

Diamond helps to recognize an ill-wisher. He senses lies and reacts negatively to enemies and envious people.

Single girls or women should not buy diamonds. They will interfere with finding a life partner. Those jewelry that were presented to a person as a gift have the greatest energy power. Women should be given diamonds by a man. He is obliged to buy jewelry and give it to the girl. Such a gift will make the relationship between two people stronger and more trusting.

But before you make a purchase, you should familiarize yourself with the opinions of astrologers. Diamonds suit your horoscope:

1. Aries.
2. Libra.
3. Leos.
4. Capricorns.
5. Sagittarius.

For Aries, who are characterized by emotionality, naivety and a tendency to hysterics, the stone will help them become stronger and stronger. He will teach representatives to work and make them love their work. As a result, Aries will be able to achieve success in their favorite business.

For Libras who are always in doubt, the crystal will help them cope with them. He will endow the representatives of this sign with courage and bravery. It will help you overcome embarrassment and increase your self-confidence.

Brave and courageous Leos do not suffer from self-doubt. But representatives of this sign often cannot cope with their stormy temper. Diamond will help Leos pacify their feelings and teach them to control their emotions.

Naturally calm Capricorns do not need firmness. They are already distinguished by their strong-willed character. But representatives of this sign often experience a lack of communication; it is difficult for them to find friends or restore relationships with relatives or colleagues. Diamond will help cope with lack of attention; it will make Capricorns sociable and talkative.

Sagittarians do not suffer from the inattention of others, like Capricorns; rather, on the contrary, they need peace of mind. The stone will help representatives of this sign set priorities, teach them to relax and endow Sagittarius with harmony.

But the stone is not suitable for Pisces. The fact is that representatives of this sign are sometimes too soft. And diamonds do not like weak-willed people. They can subjugate a representative of this sign to their will and influence his character.

The stone will not cause harm to the other signs of the zodiac, but there is one “but” - the diamond may not open immediately. For this reason, you should be patient and wait a little; the stone will definitely manifest itself under appropriate circumstances.

History of the fancy blue stone

Colored minerals are rare. Jewelers have learned to produce artificially colored diamonds. It is obtained by introducing boron atoms into the structure of the stone under high pressure and temperature. The natural blue mineral is found in only one deposit - in Africa.

One of the most famous natural blue stones is Hope. Its beauty and legends about it amaze with their uniqueness.

For many centuries, the blue diamond has been accompanied by mystical events and curses. It was believed that every owner of the stone would die a mysterious death. This fact was confirmed by the death of its last owner.

The history of the stone dates back to the time of the French king Louis XIV. The stone came to France from India, the temple of the god Rama. The statue of this god had a left eye made of this stone. It was sacred to Indians, punitive to all other religions. Someone stole this mineral, thereby making it cursed. The stone came to Tavernier, who was searching for jewelry for the French king. He presented it to Louis.

The mineral was a rare type of colored diamond with a deep blue color. When it came to France, it had a triangular shape and was poorly cut. Its weight was 115 carats. Louis commissioned experienced cutters to correct the shape and cut. The stone took on the shape of a heart and began to weigh almost half as much, but all its beauty was revealed. He shone with inner fire, with all his facets. People even started talking about his beauty outside of France.

• The curse of the stone began to operate in Europe from its first owner. Historians have established that the first victim was Tavernier. He traveled a lot around the world, looking for jewelry and minerals for the king. On one of these expeditions he was torn to pieces by a pack of hungry dogs.
• According to another version, the appearance of the stone in Europe led to a plague epidemic that killed many people.
• For many years, King Louis of France had a favorite - the Marquise de Montespan. During this time, she gave birth to eight children to the king, for which he gave her a diamond. The king's feelings quickly cooled after this gift, and the marquise was expelled from the palace. The diamond returned to the palace again.
• The king did not part with him for six months, after which he died. Misfortunes befell the entire Bourbon family. One by one, all the adult heirs of the king died. The throne went to a five-year-old child, his great-grandson.
• For many years the diamond lay in the royal treasury. No one touched it; it was known as a cursed stone. The young king grew up, the fear of the curse passed. He wanted to give it to his favorite Madame DuBarry. She came from a simple family and shone with her beauty. But the stone did not bring her happiness. She was soon removed from the palace, and during the French Revolution she was beheaded by guillotine.

• At one of the balls, the king attached the famous diamond to his ceremonial costume, inserting it into the cross of the golden fleece. The Seven Years' War began. She exhausted the strength of France, her influence in the world weakened. Ten years later the king died.
• A tragic fate followed the next Louis XIV and his wife, who tragically ended their lives. Later, the treasury was looted and the stone disappeared for some time.
• It was divided into several parts. This did not save the owners from death. They were all killed. A bloody rumor haunted the stone.
• The largest part of the diamond (14 carats) went to a famous jeweler. The stone disappeared and was considered lost. It turned out that it was stolen by his son. The father died of grief, the son committed suicide.
• In 1820, the stone fell on the soil of England. Henry was known as an intelligent, educated monarch, knew many foreign languages, loved music, and played musical instruments. After he bought this diamond, his life changed dramatically. Many believed that the monarch had gone crazy. He became interested in wine and indulged in endless entertainment that ended in drunken orgies.

• The stone was purchased by a man named Hope. He named the stone after himself. The translation of his last name means “hope”. But this did not help change the curse. Hope died of an unknown illness. His heirs also suffered: his son was killed, his grandson went bankrupt.
• The stone left its mark on the history of Russia. One of the small pieces was inserted into the ring of Tsarina Maria Feodorovna (the Dowager Empress). Now this stone is in the Diamond Fund of St. Petersburg.
• At the beginning of the last century, an aristocrat from Russia gave a large diamond to his mistress (ballerina Ledue). Having found her with her lover, he killed her out of jealousy. He hid for many years and was also killed.
• Another mistress died because of a diamond, who was given the stone by the Sultan of Egypt. After he killed his mistress out of jealousy, he was expelled from the country.
• A tragic page in life that was influenced by the stone is the sinking of the Titanic. One of the small pieces of the diamond belonged to a married couple who were traveling on a ship. They died tragically in this crash.

• The main stone went through many more owners until it came to the jeweler Pierre Cartier. The famous jeweler set it in a necklace surrounded by colorless diamonds. They said that it was he who came up with the story of the curse of the diamond in order to increase its price.
• The famous American woman was amazed by the beauty of the necklace and bought it for a lot of money. She didn’t believe the curse story, but before putting it on, she blessed the necklace in the church. The diamond attracted the woman with its beauty. She practically never parted with him. I wore it to all sorts of events and let my little son play with it. A little time passed, the curse began to take effect. My husband went crazy due to constant drinking. He ended his life in a madhouse. A child who was playing with a necklace died when he was very young under the wheels of a car. The daughter died from an overdose of sleeping pills.
• The heirs of the diamond paid off their debts with the diamond. The stone came to Henry Winston, who did not believe that the gem brings bad luck. He held exhibitions where he showed the “cursed diamond.” He donated the proceeds to charity. Then he donated the diamond to the Washington Institute. He sent it with an ordinary messenger, who became the last victim of the diamond. A man died under the wheels of a truck, and his family died in a fire.

To this day it is in the museum. This unique mineral with its “bloody history” still has a magical effect on everyone who was able to see it.

According to one version of the origin of diamonds, it is believed that they came from meteorites from other civilizations. Maybe it is this fact that gives the mineral magical power and power over the human mind.

Characteristics of the stone

A blue diamond has a high value; purchasing jewelry inlaid with such a stone is a great success. Especially when it comes to those crystals that are naturally blue. The cost of diamonds that have undergone the refining procedure is significantly lower. But not only processing affects the price of precious stones; the following is also taken into account:

• The purity of the stone or the so-called defectiveness. This concept is widely used by jewelers and means the presence or absence of inclusions in the crystal structure.
• Size. Naturally, the larger the stone, the more expensive it is; the weight of a diamond is estimated in carats, and those crystals that weigh more than five carats are incredibly expensive.
• Mining place. Blue diamonds are mined only from one mine, which belongs to and is located in South Africa.
• Color. The most expensive ones are not blue diamonds, but red ones; there are very few such gems, they are rarely large in size and are mined only in Australia.

A blue diamond can increase in value significantly after it is cut to turn it into a diamond. As a rule, stones of this color are cut in several ways.

1. Give the mineral a circle shape.
2. They use a classic diamond cut.
3. The stone may be heart shaped.
4. Marquise cut.
5. In rare cases, rose cut is used.
6. Fancy cutting methods are also rarely used.

As for diamonds that are distinguished by their rare color or large size, they are cut in such a way as to minimize costs. Stones are processed depending on their natural characteristics, taking into account the purity of minerals, the presence or absence of inclusions, small points and cracks in their structure.

The heart-shaped cut is considered the most difficult. Jewelers rarely use it, because after processing the stone loses significant weight.

The rose cut is considered the most gentle among jewelers; it has been known for quite a long time and is not particularly complex. Only a few edges are applied to the surface of the stone, which makes it possible to almost completely preserve the weight of the mineral.

Cutting can dramatically change a diamond. For this reason, after processing, the stone turns into a diamond that sparkles with different colors. It is worth noting that it was cutting that turned diamonds into the most expensive and valuable stones that exist on our planet.

The best setting for diamonds is considered to be gold or platinum. It is these metals that can emphasize the beauty of the stone and enhance its shine. But silver is rarely used as a setting, since this metal is not very expensive and cannot become a good setting for such a valuable and expensive stone.

Defects, the cutting method and, of course, the metal used as a frame can affect the cost. On average, you will have to pay at least $150 thousand for one carat. Crystals weighing more than five carats are more expensive because they are considered large.

Blue diamond and its shades

The very first blue diamonds were brought in the 17th century from India, and later from southern Africa.

Blue diamonds come in a variety of shades from light tones to deep blues. The main component that colors diamond is boron. The color saturation depends on its quantity. There may also be the presence of other elements that give a variety of shades.

Pure colors are very rare. Impurities produce shades of gray or black. A diamond is not completely painted in one color: one half is light, almost white; the other is dark. There are 9 shades of the mineral.

The beauty of a diamond will depend on the cut of the diamond. Thanks to the work of the jeweler, we will see a real work of art. The price of a real blue diamond exceeds $600,000 per carat.

Steven Universe~~

Blue Diamond is one of the rulers of the Gem Homeworld and a member of the Diamond High Authority, which rules the Gem race.

Character

This is a calm and wise ruler, beloved by subordinates of all ranks and characters - both aristocrats and less noble gems. According to Blue Agate, her Diamond is famous for her generosity and generosity. And this statement is by no means unfounded: for example, she “saved” Greg from death due to the awakening of the Cluster, not knowing that it was no longer active.

Unlike Yellow, Blue remembers most of her gems by sight and by numbers, and they, in turn, respond to her with sincere adoration. However, in "That Will Be All", she did not recognize the Ruby and Sapphire, the Crystal Gems that she saw fused into the Garnet six thousand years ago.

A characteristic feature of Blue is an all-consuming, chronic grief for her younger sister, whom she loved with all her heart, despite her mischief. Because of this, her voice is always quiet and like the rustling of autumn leaves, and sadness never leaves her face. She has dark blue circles under her eyes, which also hints at her depression, and her slight stoop makes Blue a little shorter than she actually is, although she is not inferior in height to Yellow.

As consul, she is distinguished by her attention and honesty, embodying the ideal of a good administrator and a fair judge, ready to listen to both the prosecution and the defense. In those rare cases when Yellow is present at the trial, Blue pacifies her impatient and stern disposition (“The Trial”), but it is noticeable that her outbursts of anger are capable of infuriating even this stronghold of calm and reason.

Despite her melancholic and sentimental character, Blue is a skilled and very dangerous warrior; her ranged combat skills are the strongest in Homeworld. As seen in the Reunited series, no one can compare with her: the super strength of her form and quick reaction leave no chance for her enemies. She is surpassed only by Yellow with her lightning and White with the gift of magical submission.

Story

Blue Diamond first appears in Garnet's memories. Sapphire approaches her Diamond and begins a conversation. Blue asks her what is going to happen in the future, to which Sapphire replies that she sees the rebels attacking the arena, but are defeated. When the rebels manage to escape, Blue Diamond is unhappy that things didn't go as Sapphire predicted. Sapphire tries to justify herself, but Ruby intervenes and takes all the blame. Diamond is unhappy that Ruby dared to merge with a gem from her retinue and decides to split her stone, but Sapphire and Ruby managed to escape.

"It Could've Been Great"

She is shown in murals on the moon base. When Stephen first saw these images, he decided that these gems were very important. After which Peridot tells him who the Diamonds are.

"Steven's Dream"

Greg and Stephen fly to Korea. Here they accidentally meet Blue Diamond and her Pearl. Blue Diamond mourns the death of Pink Diamond. Seeing Greg, Blue Diamond admires the man's ability to survive in difficult conditions and talks about Pink Diamond's death. Greg expresses his condolences and says that he knows what it's like to lose someone close. Blue Diamond assures him that he can save him while the Earth is not yet destroyed and kidnaps him.

The Crystal Gems follow her to the Zoo.

"That Will Be All"

At the Zoo, Blue Diamond comes to Pink Diamond's room. She asks Yellow why she won't leave her alone. Yellow tells her that Blue is one of the Diamonds and shouldn't waste time being sad. When Sapphire, Ruby and Blue Agate enter the room, the latter talks about Sapphire delivering the people to the Zoo. Blue Diamond says that she did not send the Gems for people, to which Sapphire replies that through her ability to see the future, she learned that Blue Diamond would want to join the Zoo in the future. Blue Diamond says it's true.

"The Trial"

Blue and Yellow Diamond hold Steven's trial. Unlike Yellow, Blue is interested in a fair trial, wanting to know how everything really happened. To find out exactly how Pink Diamond was cracked, she asks Steven a few questions. Hearing about the sword, she begins to cry, forcing the others in court to do the same with her power. When Zircon the Lawyer blames the Diamonds for Pink's split, Yellow destroys her physical form. The same thing happens to Zircon the Prosecutor. Blue Diamond stops Yellow Diamond and they begin to argue, causing Steven and Lars to run away.

"Can't Go Back"

Steven dreams of the silhouettes of Yellow, Blue and Pink Diamonds. At the same time, Blue reprimands Pink for not being able to complete the colonization of Earth. Afterwards, she says that she doesn't need to worry about the rebellion, because she and Yellow will deal with it themselves.

"Reunited"

Yellow and Blue Diamonds flew to Earth with the goal of awakening the Cluster, which they succeeded in doing. However, instead of destroying the planet, he attacks Yellow's ship. Blue at this moment lands at the temple and begins a battle with the crystal gems. Blue Diamond uses emotion control, leaving everyone except Connie and Lion unable to fight. When Connie tried to attack Blue with a sword, Diamond, saying that he remembers this sword, breaks it. Garnet distracts Blue Diamond, after which Lapis drops a barn on Blue Diamond. However, this only angers Diamond and she tries to use emotional control again, but it fails because of Lapis. The Crystal Gems attack Blue all together, after which, due to the actions of the Cluster, she is crushed by her own ship. Just when it seemed like the Diamonds were defeated, Yellow exits the ship. A battle begins between two Diamonds and Crystal Gems. When Steven turns to the Diamonds in the dimension of minds, they attack him. However, upon recognizing Pink Diamond's aura, they stop the fight. At the end, Blue tells Steven, “It’s you... Pink!”

"Legs From Here to Homeworld"

Blue Diamond is happy that Pink Diamond is alive. She holds Stephen in her arms. Garnet wants to stop her, but Bismuth says Blue won't hurt him. Yellow asks her to stop crying because she can’t see anything because of her tears. Blue asks how they survived their attack, and Steven takes the diamonds to the Centipede Mother. Yellow restores her appearance, Blue regains her mind, and Steven regains her memories. After realizing how many good soldiers they lost, Yellow gets angry at Steven and breaks contact, causing Nephrite to revert to a damaged state. Blue reassures Yellow Diamond, saying that Pink is already punished for spending so much time on Earth. Yellow says they can't keep her forever, and that they need White, but they don't have a ship. They teleport to the desert, where they find Pink's ship. Steven, the Diamonds, and some of the Crystal Gems fly to the Gems' Homeworld. Blue begins to cry again, remembering the times when they all flew together on Pink's ship. In Homeworld, they meet White Pearl, who says that White Diamond only wants to see Pink, keeping the others out.

"Familiar"

Blue Pearl takes Steven to Blue Diamond's bathroom, where Steven encounters Blue herself sitting in the pool, combing her hair. When she sees Steven, she asks him to join her. They talk for a while about Pink Diamond's past and how they had fun together before she left Homeworld. Then Blue Pearl comes and tells her diamond that she needs to go to her next appointment. Blue sighs and agrees, and when Steven says to discuss White Diamond, she replies: “Later, probably.”

"Together Alone"

Blue Diamond discusses the upcoming ball with Steven and Yellow. Yellow says that they haven't had a ball in 6,000 years, to which Blue replies that they haven't had Pink in 6,000 years. Blue claims that since White herself will be there, then everything must be perfect. She asks her pearl to help Steven get ready for the ball, and then leaves. When she returns, she asks Stephen why he is not getting ready, and whether he will look like this even at the ball, to which he replies “yes.” After this, Blue Diamond asks if he is going to take his friends to the ball, and after a positive answer, he moves him away from the rest of the Crystal Gems, saying that White herself will be there, and that everyone should try their best. Blue teaches Steven the rules, and laughs at Steven’s words about Garnet, not understanding how she can even come to the ball. Blue Diamond says she will take care of everything herself and leaves with the pearls.

At the ball, Blue goes to her throne, simultaneously praising Stephen for the ball. As Steven and Connie fuse, Blue Diamond jumps up from his seat and says that this is completely unacceptable and orders them to separate. More fusions appear and Yellow throws Stevonnie into a dark room. Blue is so upset that she begins to cry.

Capabilities

It can be assumed that Blue Diamond has all the universal abilities of a gem: enormous strength, immortality, summoning weapons, changing shape, bubbling objects and the ability to merge. Like the rest of the Diamonds, its body is distinguished by significant strength, which makes it almost impossible to destroy it.

Unique abilities

Emotion Manipulation

This is a unique ability. When Blue Diamond shows strong emotions, she creates a space in a small diameter around herself, and all the gems that fall into this field begin to experience the same emotions and shed tears. This ability allows Blue Diamond to separate gem fusions, as demonstrated with Alexandrite. However, it may not work on people, such as Greg and Lars (however, in the episode "Reunited", the second use of the ability worked on Connie) and does not work at all on Lev. This ability can also be countered, as shown by Lapis, who felt emotionally worse than Blue Diamond, and Garnet, who did not separate and remained fused despite her influence. In the episode "Legs From Here to Homeworld", she is shown to be capable of inspiring joy as well as sadness. Blue Diamond cannot fully control this power because if the emotions are too strong, Gems nearby will feel the same as her without her wanting it.

Energy Projection

She was shown to have some form of energy projection, which she used in battle. The energy can be formed into different projectiles (spheres or a stream of rays).

Aura projection

Although she cannot be physically seen, Blue Diamond can create an aura. She has a blue aura and properties similar to water.

Increased strength

Blue Diamond is shown to be very tough, as she did not receive any damage after a barn, two warships, and a team strike from all the Crystal Gems collapsed on her.

Damage Generation

The joint attack of Yellow, Blue and White Diamonds was supposed to destroy all the Gems on Earth. As a result, almost all gems on Earth were damaged.

Good memory

Blue Diamond is shown to have a good memory, as she easily remembered the Ruby and Sapphire that merged over 5,000 years ago in the episode "The Answer", and also clearly remembered that she did not send either of her Sapphires on missions in the episode "That Will Be All". She perfectly remembered the sword with which Pink Diamond was “split” and also instantly recognized “Rose Quartz” in the episode “Reunited”.

Healing

Blue Diamond, like other Diamonds, can heal gems, she brings her palm to her stone, causing her hand to turn white and blue, then she brings it to the gem and it lights up with a flash. At the same time, it restores the mind.

Interesting Facts

1. Blue Diamond is the first of the Diamonds to appear in the series, not counting Yellow, who appeared in the extended version of We are the Crystal gems.

2. Despite the fact that Blue is similar to Yellow, in "The Answer" it is clear that the shape of its gem is different from the cut of the stone of the second Diamond. The reason for this is that the episodes are worked on by storyboarders whose drawing styles differ from each other.

3. In "Steven's Dream" it is shown that her gem has become more like Yellow's gem.

4. Blue Diamond has her own Pearl.

5. Blue Diamond in “The Answer” does not have her own voice actor; Estelle (voice of Garnet) spoke for her throughout the episode.

6. According to Rebecca Sugar, while working on the character of Blue Diamond, she was inspired by Martha Graham's dance "Lamentation", and her appearance was from Leiji Matsumoto to create a sense of "strange presence".

7. Almost everyone associated with Blue or subordinate to her (Sapphire and Pearl) closes their eyes, like she herself.

8. Her face was first shown in the episode "Steven's Dream".

9. Almost everyone who is subordinate to her has a blue palette of skin and clothing (the silhouettes of gems and Sapphire are proof of this). The exceptions are rubies and some gems that previously served Pink Diamond.

10. Blue Diamond's suit and palanquin have similarities with Indian and Muslim culture, especially for wedding attire.

11. The Blue Throne has geometric shapes that decorate many Indian temples.

12. Lapis Lapis was subordinate to Blue Diamond.

13. She couldn't bring herself to break all the Rose Quartz, saying that "they belonged to her" and that she had no right to it.

14. In addition, because of grief for Pink, Blue often commits rash acts: for example, she arrives on Earth, although she knows that it will be torn apart by the Cluster in the near future, or returns to the Human Zoo twice in a row.

15. One of the concept arts suggests that Blue Diamond was originally going to have very long, dark blue hair, like in the lunar mural.

The actual appearance of Blue Diamond's hair and the image on the moon base are very different.

16. According to Rebecca Sugar, many Blue Diamond Gems are primarily diplomats. The most famous of them are Lapis Lazuli, Sapphire and Aquamarine.

17. Most Blue Diamond gemstones are linked together by some similarity in the structure of the stone: narrow at the top and wider at the bottom. This probably refers to the color blue, water/ice magic, or Blue Diamond's grief for Pink.

Among them: Lapis Lapis and Aquamarine (hydrokinesis and hydrogenogenesis), Sapphire (cryokinesis), Blue Diamond Pearl (blue tones in appearance), Blue Agate (head of Pink Diamond's zoo).

18. The cut of the Blue Diamond stone in the “The Answer” series is different from the cut of subsequent series since its appearance. Before that, it was diamond-shaped, but after that it began to look more like a drop.
