____________________________________________________________________
The Hope Diamond is a large, 45.52 carats (9.10 g),deep-blue diamond, housed in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C. The Hope Diamond is blue to the naked eye because of trace amounts of boron within its crystal structure, but it exhibits red phosphorescence under ultraviolet light.It is classified as a Type IIb diamond(Type IIb diamonds make up about 0.1% of all natural diamonds. In addition to having levels of nitrogen impurities comparable to Type IIa diamonds, Type IIb diamonds contain significant boron impurities. The absorption spectrum of boron causes these gems to absorb red, orange, and yellow light, lending Type IIb diamonds a blue or grey colour, though examples with low levels of boron impurities can also be colourless. ), and is famous for supposedly being cursed.
