Chocolate is one name used to describe brown diamonds, the most common colour of diamond found.
From its Wikipedia entry for natural brown diamonds:
"Whereas the brown color due to irradiation or nickel impurity can be easily recognized through spectroscopic (e.g. absorption) measurements, the majority of natural brown diamonds do not show any characteristic absorption peaks. Whereas the consensus has been reached that the color relates to the plastic deformation, the particular reason has been reliably identified (large clusters of vacancies) only in type IIa natural brown diamond."

What mineral makes the color blue?
It depends on what you mean by mineral. A mineral is a 'wide range' term. The only one I know of is Alexandrite, but that is a color-changing mineral, not exactly blue all of the time.
What makes diamonds chocolate?

What makes a diamond a diamond?
Mother Nature makes diamonds from carbon using intense high pressure and extreme heat deep within the earth's mantle.
What element makes diamonds blue?
Boron is the trace element in blue diamonds.
What makes some diamonds pink in color?
Diamonds are formed by tremendous pressure under the earth's surface which causes carbon to crystallize. When this happens in the presence of certain trace elements, a distortion of the normal crystallization process can occur and result in the beautiful colors seen in some rare and expensive diamonds.
What makes a diamond a mineral?
Diamonds are formed from carbon. Gem-quality diamonds include only this mineral, with the exception of some trace minerals, which can give a diamond colour.

What makes sulfur rock yellow?
It's just the mineral's natural color.
What makes white diamonds valuable?

What property of diamonds makes them useful as cutting tools?
