The Rich History of Yellow Diamonds

Yellow diamonds have not been as widely known as many other gemstones, in fact they were only first discovered in 1867 by a young boy in South Africa. Unbeknownst to its immense worth and rarity, the boy found the stone in some grass and gave it to his neighbour. Fast forward to today, this rarefied stone is known as the Eureka diamond and resides in a museum in Northern Cape, South Africa.
