Phosphorescence is a process in which the energy absorbed by a substance is released slowly in the form of light - a process used, for example, by glow-in-the-dark materials.
moisture creates calcium to react with concrete
I think you mean "phosphorescence" not phosphorescent. Actually a diamond doesn't react WITH phosphorescence. BUT it can create it's own. After exposing it to UV light (the sun) and putting in a dark room, it can glow itself.
The word phosphorescence is a material similar to fluorescence but it does not give out light quickly. It does this because it slowly absorbs radiation.
Henri Becquerel accidently discovered radioactivity while conducting experiments on phosphorescence. He saw that photographic plates that were still wrapped in their black paper packaging was exposed when placed near uranium salts. Therefore, this suggested a type of radiation that can pass through solid matter. He went on the share a Nobel prize with the Curies.
