Is the diamond source of light?
No. Diamonds reflect and refract light. Without a light source, a diamond cannot be seen.No, a diamond is not a source of light. A cut diamond appears to sparkle because it is very good at scattering light that strikes it.
Do real diamonds sparkle in the dark?
In a cave with zero light, you would not be able to see any reflection from a diamond since there is no light source. However, if there is moonlight, starlight, ambient light from any source, your diamond will sparkle.
What is the brightness of a diamond?
A diamond 'gathers' light from every available source and reflects and refracts it back to the eye of the observer. Its brightness then, depends on how much available light the diamond can collect.
Why diamond glows in dark?
Some diamonds are fluorescent. This means that light enters the stone and the wave length is converted to a longer light wave. Not all diamonds are fluorescent. No diamond will 'glow in the dark' without first being exposed to a light source.
Why does diamond shines at night?
In absolute darkness, for example, inside a closed cave, a diamond would not be visible. A diamond depends on a light source in order to reflect and refract light. Any ambient light, from the moon, or a streetlight or candlelight will be picked up by a diamond and cause it to shine.

How light is reflected and refracted in a diamond?
Light is reflected and refracted in a diamond based on the angles of its facets relative to the source of the light.
What colors are in a diamond?
A diamond reflects light and refracts it, so the colours you see coming from a diamond are a combination of the colour of the light source and the colours of a refracted rainbow.

Can a diamond change color?
A diamond reflects whatever light is available, and a diamond is cut to reflect the full spectrum of colour. As well, some diamonds may have a phosphorous 'afterglow' once a light source has been removed. But a diamond will not appear blue in direct sunlight and brown in artificial light. In that sense, a diamond will not change colour.
What is one source of a diamond?
One source of diamond is volcanic pipes.

Can a diamond blind you?
If a diamond is pushed into the eyeball, it would damage the organ and potentially cause blindness. Reflectively, unless the original source of light bounced through a faceted diamond would blind an eye, the act of passing a light through a diamond would not -- as a stand-alone fact -- cause blindness in all probability.
Can you tell if a diamond is real by scanning it in a printer?
No, you couldn't. Printers don't scan things. _____________ Perhaps your printer scans, in which case it could use a fluorescent bulb or a bulb that contains some other gas: in any event, it is a light source. You can see a diamond's reflective quality in response to any light source, from a candle to the sun. This is not a typical test for a diamond. You're better advised to take your diamond to a gemologist who can test it and tell you whether or not the stone is a real diamond.
