Seeing "Green" in Chidliak

That one nice green diamond would certainly be a welcome site if more of its friends show up for the party. See the following excerp from Asteria Diamonds -

"It is estimated that for every 10,000 carats of clear diamonds, there is 1 carat of colored diamonds. While the 4Cs in diamond selection (carat, color, clarity, cut) are still important when considering fancy colored diamonds, color intensity is the most important factor in determining the value of the stone, with deeper hues implying higher value."

Colored diamonds are naturally occurring stones considered to be more valuable than clear or colorless diamonds due to their rarity. They are formed in the same way as their colorless counterparts, except that the carbon compression includes interactions with other elements such as boron (blue), high temperatures (pink or red) or radiation (green).
