colorless, but some are yellow, green, blue, and even

as found in nature (called a rough diamond) is cut, for
use in jewelry, into various forms with many reflecting

increased. See {Brilliant}, {Rose}. Diamonds are said
to be of the first water when very transparent, and of
the second or third water as the transparency
decreases.
