red diamond

Scarlet four-sided gem

A red diamond is an extremely rare variety of diamond with a natural red coloration, among the rarest and most valuable gemstones in the world.

Red diamonds get their color from a rare deformation in the crystal structure rather than from impurities.

The term also refers to the red diamond shape used in card suits, road signs, and various warning symbols.
