A blue-green colour is commonly seen in artificially enhanced diamonds, whose colour is imparted by various irradiation methods. The Ocean Dream originated in Central Africa, and is currently owned by the Cora Diamond Corporation.{{cite web | publisher = Smithsonian Museum of Natural History | url = http://www.mnh.si.edu/exhibits/si-gems/ocean.html | work = The Splendor of Diamonds | access-date = April 13, 2005 | title = The Ocean Dream | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060505181239/http://www.mnh.si.edu/exhibits/si-gems/ocean.html | archive-date = May 5, 2006}}
