Geological processes naturally infuse vibrant and eye-catching colors into natural green diamonds during their formation. Some green diamonds obtain their color primarily through natural irradiation. The diamond’s exposure to radiation while still buried deep within the earth alters the diamond's crystal structure, enabling them to absorb light in a way that produces their green coloration.

Elements such as nitrogen and hydrogen can also influence the hue and intensity of green in diamonds. It all depends on their concentration within the crystal lattice.

The value of green diamonds is influenced by the 4Cs—Color, Clarity, Cut, Carat  The rarity and intensity of the green color significantly impact their value.
