Natural fancy blue diamonds are completely natural and are usually classified as either gray-blue or green-blue. The color in gray-blue, grayish blue, blackish blue, or black-blue colored diamonds is caused by the presence of minor amounts of boron in their structure.
Green-blue or greenish blue (teal) colored diamonds usually contain nitrogen impurities in aggregate form.
