Just some eye-candy, even for those who can't visit.
"On Tuesday, April 1, the Winston Red Diamond and 40 other fancy-color diamonds will make their debuts at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. Tipping the scale at 2.33 carats, the Winston Red Diamond ranks among the largest diamonds ever bestowed with the coveted “Fancy Red” color grade by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA)."
"The 40 diamonds in the Winston Fancy Color Diamond Collection range in color from a soft peach to a deep teal and in size from 0.40 to 9.49 carats."
The article mentions that the yellow EC in the group photo is 4.11ct. Not sure if the stone sizes are proportional in that photo, but if it is proportional, those are some impressive sizes for the other colors.
