Coloured Diamonds.
141
There are Diamonds of other colours, such as pink, mauve and brown-red, which fetch high prices ; but of the red, green and blue varieties, nothing has ever been found to touch the three which I have mentioned above. Strangely enough I have sold the red once, the green twice, and the blue once ; the last having been sold to the late Emperor of Russia, father to the Duchess of Edinburgh, though the trustees in custody of the Diamond would not, for family reasons, at that time deliver it.
