Diamonds are classified into various types to define their purity and to state their overall excellence in their fraternity. Out of which, \u003cstrong\u003etype IIa diamonds\u003c/strong\u003e are considered to be the purest, rarest and the most valuable form of diamonds. The inexistence of nitrogen atoms in their crystal structure is a feature they are well-known for. They are usually colorless, which adds to their pure nature, and don\u0026rsquo;t pertain any measurable impurities.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType IIa diamonds\u003c/strong\u003e account for only 1-2% of all mined diamonds in the world. Cullinan, Kohinoor are examples of Type IIa diamonds. This category of diamonds undergoes very high pressure for a long time of periods and hence they have an irregular shape more often than not. They are highly valuable and are considered as a great investment opportunity.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eKOH-I- NOOR\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe world-famous Koh-I- Noor (Persian for Mountain of light) diamond was found near Kollur, India. It is the largest known diamond in the world; its size has been reduced significantly since its years of evolution. The diamond originally weighed 793 carats; it now weighs only 105.6 carats after multiple attempts of cutting and polishing. The Koh-I- Noor diamond passed multiple hands through dynasties, emperors and invasions. It eventually ended up as a British Crown Jewel and is a part of the Crown, held by Queen Elizabeth.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eELIZABETH TAYLOR DIAMOND\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elizabeth Taylor diamond is a 33.19 carat Asscher cut \u0026lsquo;Type IIa\u0026rsquo; diamond.
