What makes green diamonds green?
According to Wikipedia, the Dresden Green Diamond, the most famous green diamond, owes its "...unique apple green color is due to natural exposure to radioactive materials..." Some green diamonds are made more green after being irradiated in order to enhance its colour. This process treats or enhances a diamond, and therefore, makes it less valuable than a naturally coloured diamond. A certified gemologist can identify such diamonds.

Much shorter wavelength in UV light, hence much greater energy.
What happens if you touch uranium with your bare hand?

How do you know if a yellow diamond is real?

Are colored diamonds radiated or irradiated?
No, for a naturally coloured diamond, and yes, for a treated diamond with enhanced colour. Any diamond can be treated, either chemically or by radiation, to enhance its natural colour. Many naturally coloured diamonds require no treatment, because their colour is judged to be naturally ideal. A certified gemologist can identify a naturally coloured diamond, and can also identify and describe treatments to a diamond intended to enhance its natural colour.
Why black diamond is called as bort carbando?
Boart means industrial quality diamond (by nature heavlily included, near opaque), carbonado is the variety. Almost any boart can be heated to make black. There are 3 types of black diamonds, 1)Natural Black (opaque but slightly traslucent) 2)Irradiated (white, transparent, cloudy diamond, I1 to I3 clarity), can be transformed to black (opaque, slightly translucent, green traces when viewed with strong light) and finally 3)Boart diamond (60% of the diamond production). Entire diamond appear black (brownish to acerated hues), completely opaque, zero light can enter to it. From price point of view. Natural Black from 500 per carat, Irradiated Black from 150 per carat, boart heated to black from 50 per carat, so watch carefully what you`re buying.

Is it possible to change the brown diamond to colorless or white diamond?
Diamonds are irradiated to change or enhance their colour. Usually enhancing a stone means highlighting its colour -- pink, blue and so forth -- not removing colour, which is what you want to do. A diamond's colour is caused by the inclusion of a trace mineral. Brown diamonds are brown because the traces of nitrogen are in large even-numbered aggregates. Enhancing this diamond may cause it to become a fancier brown or yellow stone, not colourless or white.
