While the diamond grows over millions of years, it becomes susceptible to various conditions in pressure, temperature and even volcanic eruptions, causing the crystal to change shape because it dissolves. Therefore, finding the perfectly shaped Octahedron is extremely rare.
Diamonds obtain inclusions during their formation in the earth's mantle throughout the span of millions of years. Inclusions are minerals or gasses that are trapped inside the diamond as it grows. Among these inclusions, we come across the rarest and most beautiful cloud-like inclusions that appear as fascinating geometric structures, mainly hexagonal or octahedral, as is the case with these octahedrons.
It is also important to note that these diamonds are completely natural and haven’t undergone any artificial enhancements or treatments. Furthermore, these diamonds are certified by the Kimberly process and therefore are "conflict free" diamonds.

Rare Diamond with flower inclusions
The special flower inclusion octahedron is one such diamond that truly stands out from the rest. Sourced from one of the largest mines in Botswana and obtained from one of the tenders in Johannesburg, South Africa. The octahedron's unique flower inclusions make it an extraordinary example of natural beauty. Each face of the octahedron contains a six-petal flower with a black core, a rare occurrence in the diamond world. Although we call the inclusions in this diamond flower inclusions, they are actually called "asteriated diamonds", a term used for diamonds that contain star-like clouds. Research shows that such asteriated diamonds that contain these clouds or symmetrical spokes are rich in hydrogen, a "hydrogen connection." When observed under UV light, the clouds turn yellowish-green, and consist of light-scattering micro-inclusions similar to the structure of graphite.
