There is no 'famous' diamond named simply 'Canary'. In that list, however, you will find one 'famous' diamond with the attribute 'Canary' (and 14 described as 'yellow'). It is the Gold Eye Diamond, with a link, below. This is apparently a notorious diamond with a history in money laundering. (There are an unknown number of canary diamonds: canary is a description of a visibly yellow diamond. You may be able to find one at your local jewelery store.)
The first canary diamond to be discovered was the Yellow Canary Diamond found in Africa in 1866. It was called the Eureka diamond. It was pale yellow and was 10.7 carats. The presence of nitrogen in the diamond creation process is what adds the yellow color to the diamond.Another AnswerThe Eureka Diamond was the first diamond discovered in South Africa; it is brownish-yellow in colour. Read more about it, below.The notion 'canary' as a descriptor of a diamond came about closer to the late 1890s - early 1900s, when Cape diamonds -- diamonds found in South Africa, were defined as such. The first Cape yellow diamond was found in 1869.You can read more about yellow diamonds -- canary diamonds -- and how they got their name in a brief history, below.
Depending on the intensity of the yellow colour (nitrogen) in the stone, the diamond could be 'called' by many names. Generally, visibly yellow diamonds can range from a 'light yellow' colour to an 'intense fancy yellow' colour. Canary diamond is another name given to some yellow diamonds. As well, 'colourless' diamonds graded from H through Z are also called 'yellow'. A certified gemologist can give you the exact name for the colour of the diamond in question.
The Tiffany Yellow Diamond is the worlds second largest canary yellow diamond. In 1983 the diamond was appraised and valued at 12 million dollars.
Yellow diamonds cost more than colorless diamonds most of the time. There is only one yellow diamond in the world for every 10,000 white diamonds, which is the reason they are considered so valuable. Also, because the amount of nitrogen in the diamond is always different, every yellow canary diamond is one of kind, also adding value. It is uncommon for yellow canary diamonds to be found in diamond mines. Yellow diamonds from the mine are often not as vibrant yellow, and therefore are not as valuable as the ones found naturally in the ground.
Yellow diamonds are sometimes called canary diamonds. A significantly large yellow diamond is owned by Tiffany and Company, and is named The Tiffany Diamond.
Canary diamonds -- yellow diamonds -- are formed deep within the earth's mantel under heavy pressure and extreme heat, like all diamonds. The yellow colour comes from the inclusion of nitrogen within the carbon crystal matrix.
The duration of The Yellow Canary is 1.55 hours.
Yellow diamond has intense hues of yellow that look similar to gold; however, yellow diamond is not considered gold. The unique yellow color present in these diamonds is the result of the presence of nitrogen impurities which comes due to the composition of the crystal structure. Yellow diamonds are called Canary diamonds, sparkly and valuable pieces of lab-grown diamond jewelry. The nitrogen molecules in the diamond stone absorb the blue light, which makes the stone take a yellow hue. Yellow diamond stones differ from gold as they are fancy-colored diamonds depending on the nitrogen present. These diamonds can range from light yellow hue to bright, vivid, and more intense yellow hue.
