The Amsterdam Diamond is the other legendary diamond that is needed to be taken into consideration. It comes from Africa and is fully black. To go into more details it should be pointed out that this unusual category of black diamond weighs 33.74 carats, having been cut from a rough of 55.85-carats. A very exciting information to mention is that in November of 2001, Christie’s auctioned it off for a world-record single diamond price of $352,000.

The other diamond for you to know about is the Black Orlov diamond. The truth is that this one is in fact an enormously dark shade of gun-metal gray. The diamond name concerns the Russian Princess Nadia Vyegin-Orlov who was its owner for a period during the middle-1700s. It should be said that the cushion-cut diamond weighs 67.50 carats, and was supposedly cut from a 195 carat weight rough crystal.

The last but not least diamond in our list is the Ashberg Diamond. From its name it can be easily understood that this is the other famed Russian diamond. Weighing 102.48 carats, the orangey-colored, cushion-cut diamond used to be counted among the Russian Crown Jewels, although because of the fact that it most definitely appears to be a typical South African diamond there is a thought that this was a late addition to the collection of Russian Crown.
