Hi I had no idea how painful it will be to pick the rite diamond. I have a question about fluorescence. What does it do and why is bad (if it is) I found a rock with blue fluorescence Is it OK or I better stick with no fluorescence Thanks a lot Ross |

This one comes up a lot. It depends on the diamond. You need to look at the stone and see if it affects the clarity of the diamond. I have seen stones that were strong blue, not have any affect and also have seen stones that were medium blue give a hazy appearance in sunlight. What you don't want is the stone to appear hazy or milky. Also there is some discount on price for stones with fluorescence. Jan

Unfortunattely I don't know how stone looks like because I'm trying to buy it over the internet. The color is F and Fluorescence is medium blue Ross thanks again |

you have gotten great advice here so far
I would just add that medium blue is usually okay in a stone, and preferable to yellow fluoresence. You will need to "eyeball" the stone to make sure it isn't disernable, no matter WHAT the specs say. good luck! |
