The pink diamond that someone above was asking about is in fact rare...but not as rare as the red diamond. It is rumored that there are very few red diamonds and their owners like to remain annon. A few years ago, the red diamond that Eva Peron had was auctioned off (forget for how much). It's said that Madonna may own it.
I don't have time to go into how the diamonds become colored, but they are more rare because they are just that...colored. True, if you were to go to a jewelry store and look at diamonds, those that are in the colorless range of D,E,F would be the most rare. But diamond color ranges from D to Z. And the further past J you get the more yellow/champaign they look. But thats the result of what would be a white diamond (clear diamond). The colored ones are fancy...like for example Faith Hill owns a 5 carat canary yellow diamond. It's not ICKY POO POO yellow like a N or M colored diamond, it's more of the actuall PRETTY yellow color.
Hope this makes sense! When I get back from work tonight I'll post how diamonds become colored
