Atomically pure Type IIa diamonds are very rare, they account for less than 1% of the world's discovered diamonds; they have been found in India, Brazil and Africa.  Diamonds within this category often are very high in quality with a desirable lucid appearance sometimes with a bluish tint but without any trace of yellow body colour.
