A bsolutely colorless stones Color in are not so com m on as cloudly and faintly colored specim ens. diamonds may be given in the order of rarity thus: black, ruby red, rose pink, blue, emerald green, bottle green . Brow n in the delicate coffeetinter Brazilians is esteem ed, but otherw ise it is a draw back. A pale citron is also prized, but other shades ·of yellow , w hich may m erge into the ochres, are n ot. M any stones are opaflue cloudy, ow ing to m inute fis sures o r air bubbles. T h e color can som etim es be changed at a high tem perature, but generally returns on coolin g . Brilliance is im parted to the diamond by cutting. First the cutter polishes a sm all s.irface of the rough diamond and decides on the point o f cleavage. T!iis having been done, he holds a dull knife against the cleavage plane and gives the knife a sharp blow w ith a ham m er whereupon the diamond is split into tw o o r m ore section s. Each o f these is in tnvn im bedded in fu s ible m etal and 5: firmly adjusted so that it can be brought in contact with the toothless buzz-saw of phosphor bronze having a thickness o f from fou r to five thousandths o f an inch. These operations continue for several days. Then comes the actual cutting o f the diamond. To do this one o f tin stones is imbedded in lead and is listen ed in the centre of a revolv ing wheel, the other diamond being affixed in a similar w ay to the end o f a m ovable holder so adjusted that the m ovem ent o f the w heel causes one o f the stones to rub against the oth er, tey shifting the relative posi tions o f holder and wheel the point o f friction is changed at will, so that the required shape is g iven . In the final stage the approxim ately shaped diamond is partly burned in fusible m etal contained in a " drop" or cup shaped holder, and receives the defin ite polish by etmtact with a w heel of highly tempered steel about tw elve inches in diam eter and m aking over three thousand revolutions a m inute.
