We LOVE this!
We received an email from Guy Borenstein, F.G.A E.G.G , Director of Gemological Research and Lab Services for Stuller Inc. in Lafayette, Louisiana. He wanted to share with all of us what he found inside one of their diamonds.
“I came across an interesting diamond with a beautiful inclusion that may interest your readers,” he wrote. “See attached. We are still in debate at the office on how to describe it: ‘a little man’ or ‘a penguin’ 😂 The latter aligns well with the current cold front affecting the south.”
He was right about that cold spell. We think it was colder down south than it was up here in Pennsylvania.
“A little man,” he said. Looks like the guy might be wearing a hat – we think we see the brim. Do you see it?
“Or a penguin?” Could be… Both are pretty good descriptions.
But wait – our thoughts just went Pixar! What about Wall-E’s Robot, EVA?
It is a 2.01-carat oval natural diamond (H, SI1).
The photo was taken under dark-field illumination, with a field of view of 2.84mm.
What – or Who – do you think it is?
