6 Black Diamond / Carbonado / Carbonado Diamond

It's the toughest form of diamond. And unlike the other diamonds, it's opaque and not transparent. Also, most probably it came from outer space with asteroids and meteorites. One theory for the origin of carbonado is that it originated in a white dwarf or supernova which occurred at least 3.8 billion years ago.
Diamonds on Earth may be rare but they are very common in space.

7 Orange Diamond

It's among the most cherished colored stones. Orange diamond is one of nature's most beautiful abnormalities which generates substantial interest from collectors.
Their color is due to the presence of nitrogen BUT nitrogen atoms MUST be grouped in a hyper-specific way while the diamond is forming. When atoms are situated in this particular arrangement, they absorb blue and some yellow light, thus producing an orange appearance. If nitrogen atoms are not in this particular arrangement, the gem will appear yellow.

8 Green Diamond

Its color is caused by irradiation (usually by alpha particles) during the process of the crystal formation

9 Brown Diamond

In the image you see the Golden Jubilee Diamond (the largest cut and faceted diamond of any color in the world)

10 Yellow Diamond

It's the most abundant colored diamond
