Fancy Colored Diamond Flourescence Research

The GIA reported the findings of recent research which used a portable fluorescence spectrometer in order to examine the fluorescence of 240 fancy colored diamonds during a Smithsonian exhibit.

Diamonds ranging in color from pink, yellow, orange, brown, grey, yellow green and fancy white were studied in this groundbreaking research using a small, low cost, portable fluorescence spectrometer so the diamonds could be studied outside of a laboratory.

The researchers found that fluorescence corresponds to body color of a diamond and that fluorescence research may be the way to determine which chemicals are present in pink and brown fancy colored diamonds.
