"Hi, this is Rishabh Jain on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip I will tell you how to tell the different shape between a diamond and a colored stone. As you all know a diamond is white and crystal clear and the colored stone, as the name suggests, are colored. I will explain a few of them such as blue sapphire, yellow sapphire, ruby, emerald, pearl, and cat's-eye. Blue sapphire as again the name suggests is blue in color, yellow sapphire is yellow in color, ruby is red in color, emerald is green in color, pearl is silverfish and yellowish in color, and cat's-eye is again around silver in color. Now, if you compare these colored stones with the diamond you will definitely get to know the difference between both. For example I'll show you one diamond, like this diamond you can all see it's crystal clear, white, and you will get to know about it. You can see it. And the other sample I will show you of a blue sapphire, which is blue in color. Now you can clearly see the difference between the colors of the stones, this is exactly a blue color and this is a white diamond. So, that is how you differentiate between a diamond and a colored stone. Thank you."
