There are many different types of diamonds in today’s world, this dataset features the measurements and prices of over 54,000 diamonds.

This is the largest example dataset in the DataScratch collection, at a whopping 2.9 mb. This dataset represents a real world scenario that your average data scientist might encounter.

Dataset Structure

It contains the classic Four Cs of diamond grading, along with physical dimensions that allow for advanced feature engineering.

AttributeDescriptionValues / Scale
CutQuality of the diamond’s cut and finish.Fair, Good, Very Good, Premium, Ideal
ColorThe diamond’s hue (degree of colorlessness).J (worst/yellowish) to D (best/colorless)
ClarityAbsence of inclusions or blemishes.I1 (worst) to IF (Internally Flawless)
CaratThe physical weight of the diamond.Range: 0.2–5.01
DimensionsThe physical size measurements.x (length), y (width), z (depth)

Lab Questions
