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.

The presence of irradiated nitrogen trapped in the diamond's crystal lattice is responsible for giving diamonds a green color. The exposure to radiation causes the diamond to absorb light differently, resulting in the green coloration.


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.

How can you tell if the food has been irradiated?

Irradiated food can often be identified by the presence of the "radura" symbol, which is a logo indicating that the food has undergone irradiation. Additionally, packaging may include labels that state the food has been irradiated or treated with ionizing radiation. While the appearance or taste of irradiated food may not differ significantly from non-irradiated food, these labeling indicators are the most reliable way to confirm its treatment.

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.
