	The Dresden Green Diamond
		In the rough, greenish diamonds tend to occur as one of three types: a stone, often a crystal shape, possessing a light tinge rather like the color of water in a swimming pool; a stone with a dark green skin; a yellowish-green stone characterized by a degree if lubricity.
		Research has disclosed that green or irradiated diamonds are more common from alluvial deposits, although they are found in primary sources, usually in the upper part of the diamond-bearing volanic pipe, but green diamonds of any size are rare.
		Another early reference to the Dresden Green is found in a letter dated from 1726, from Baron Gautier, the "assessor" at the Geheimes Rath's Collegium in Dresden, to the Polish ambassador in London, which speaks of the green diamond being being offered to Frederick Augustus I (1694-1753) by a London merchant for £30,000.

		The coloring of many diamonds is so faint that an unpracticed observer, unless he is able to compare such a stone with an absolutely colorless diamond or to place it against a background of pure white, will fail to recognize that the stone is colored at all.
		Diamonds of a fine green color are distinctly rare, only a few Examples being known; the same may be said of red diamonds and, even more emphatically, of blue diamonds.
		Several Examples of beautifully transparent rose-red diamonds are known; such, for instance, as that of the fifteen-carat stone belonging to the Prince of Riccia, a few smaller specimens in the treasury at Dresden, and a thirty-two-carat stone, the most beautiful rose-red known, in the treasury of Vienna.

	Green Diamond Tire
		The high standards of performance of Green Diamond Tires are based on the thousands of small sharp-edged granules making firm contact with the icy road surfaces, giving them superior traction without the hammering and damaging effect of studded tires.
		Green Diamond Tires are particularly suitable for use with vehicles equipped with anti-lock braking systems (ABS), with superior, scientifically-proven performance against any other tires with in the most difficult of slippery conditions, around 0°C. Green Diamond Tires are environmentally responsible.
		Green Diamond Tires must be 'run-in' by driving 1,500 to 2,000 miles on clear, dry roads.

		The Green Diamond of the Illinois Central Railroad was a diesel streamliner (IC #121) built in 1936 by Pullman-Standard and powered by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division.
		The Green Diamond's nickname was the "Tobacco Worm," because of its green color and after the "Tin Worm" nickname of the Union Pacific's first streamliner, the M-10000.
		The name was chosen because a green diamond was the Illinois Central's emblem, and because the Diamond Special was the oldest named passenger train on the Chicago, Illinois to St.

	Green Diamond Rings
		It may be more difficult because of the greater rarity of green diamonds, and the greater problem to find matching stones, but it can be done, with great results.
		Green diamonds don't tend to be available in as wide a range of colours as emeralds do, so if the green of our ring is not your desired shade of green, then you might be better sticking to emeralds.
		Green diamonds are of course much harder and more durable than emeralds, so would be a good choice if you want a ring which will stand up to a lifetime of living, without having to worry too much about damaging the stones.

	The Dresden Green Diamond: over 100 carats in its rough form, is exceptionally unique among gems
		This 40.70carat green diamond has long been considered to be the “sister” stone to the legendary Hope, which it closely matches in size, intensity of color and historical importance.

	Green Diamond Tire
		Green Diamond tires are the work of an Icelandic company by the name of New Industries Ltd., who took the concept of embedding tiny metal granules evenly throughout the tread of a tire, and put it into mass production.
		The Green Diamond tire is a process in which hard carbide granules are distributed evenly throughout the tires tread.
		With all these reasons to switch to Green Diamonds for winter driving, one thing had yet to be determined, whether or not any of these improvements could be attributed to the tiny carbide granules embedded in the tread.
