A ‘dirty’ diamond may be one of two things: a raw diamond, or a diamond that has not been cleaned for quite a while. Raw diamonds also known as Rough Diamonds are uncut and unpolished yet – hence, they are dirty. This type of dirty diamond gets to sit in a beautiful jewelry box after being cut and polished. Before long, someone will come along and purchase it and after sometime, it will become a
