Best Answer

A 'colourless' diamond is one with minimal amounts of any other mineral except carbon. Trace amounts of some minerals, and some formation abnormalities cause diamonds to be coloured.

How you can change the brown diamond to colorless diamond?

I'm pretty sure you can't do that. I know that if you expose the diamond to extreme heat it can enhance the natural color, but not to such an extreme degree as to remove the brown from a diamond and convert it to a colorless diamond. Usually brown diamonds are formed when minerals or elements get trapped within the diamond's chemical structure creating a tint. This is impossible to change. Diamond clarity, however, can be enhanced by using a laser.
