粉色鑽石長期以來都被行家視為珍品，全球開採出來的粉鑽中，只有10%左右能夠被稱作稀世粉鑽。。近20年來，由於澳大利亞開採阿蓋爾(Argyle)礦山，粉色鑽石才得以正常開採、加工上市，但數量仍然有限。粉色鑽石的稀有、美麗使其成為世界項級珠寶首飾拍賣會--嘉士德(Christies)珠寶首飾拍賣會上的重要拍賣品。

        Pink diamonds have long been prized by connoisseurs, and only about 10 per cent of the world's pink diamonds are known as rare diamonds. For nearly 20 years, pink diamonds have been mined and processed for sale in Australia because of the Argyle mine, but the number remains limited. The rarity and beauty of pink diamonds has made them an important item in the world's top jewelry auction, the Christies jewelry auction.
