Green Diamond

World's Largest Dresden Green Diamond
Dresden Green diamond is a 41 carat (8.2 g) natural green diamond that has a historical record dating to 1722. It is named after the capital of Saxony, Germany where it has been on display for most of the last two centuries. The stone's unique green color is due to natural exposure to radioactive materials. Its valued is estimated to be around 2,00 million US dollars.

Green Diamond Resource Company traces its roots back more than a century to a small logging company founded in Washington state. Since that time our company has grown to include timberlands and lumber manufacturing operations in three states; however, the company is still privately held and managed with the same long-term commitment to environmental stewardship. That commitment is at the heart of every forest management decision we make. It's reflected in our sustainable forestry practices and in the many innovative, voluntary forest and wildlife management programs employed on our timberlands. We are proud to say that all of Green Diamond's forestlands and lumber manufacturing facilities have been independently certified as meeting the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® Standard.
