The UV wavelength becomes visible based on flaws in the carbon lattice structure. As well, once the light is removed, some diamonds emit a phosphorescence that helps identify the exact source of the stone.
it formed in a formation where flourescent minerals were present and they became part of the carbon bond that makes up the diamond. it usually makes the diamond more valuable. the hope diamond is flourescent (blue?)
Methamphetamine glows blue under a black light. The phosphorescent glow is a result of the chemical compounds present in the methamphetamine.
No, vinegar does not glow under a black light. The glow observed under a black light is typically due to fluorescent substances that react to the ultraviolet light emitted by the black light, which vinegar does not contain.
No, diamonds do not glow in fluorescent light. Fluorescent light may enhance the sparkle and brilliance of a diamond due to its dispersion of light, but diamonds themselves do not emit light in that way.
Laundry detergents often contain optical brighteners that fluoresce under ultraviolet light, such as a black light. These brighteners absorb UV light and re-emit it as visible blue light, making white clothes appear brighter and whiter. This is why laundry detergent may appear to glow under a black light.
it will glow white, or more than likely, blue
If the diamond has natural fluorescence -- about 60% of diamonds do -- then, yes, it will glow under black light.

From Wikipedia: "About a third of all diamonds will glow under ultraviolet light, usually a blue color which may be noticeable under a black light or strong sunlight." You can read more about this phenomenon, below.
No, it doesn't.
Fluorite: emits a blue or violet fluorescence under UV light. Calcite: can fluoresce in various colors including red, green, and blue under UV light. Scheelite: glows blue under UV light due to the presence of trace elements like molybdenum.
Methamphetamine glows blue under a black light. The phosphorescent glow is a result of the chemical compounds present in the methamphetamine.
i don't know the minerals but its called luminescence
The colors pink, purple, and blue glow under a blacklight.
What property do minerals that glow under ultraviolet light display
Some minerals that glow under ultraviolet light are scheelite, amber, halite.
No, vinegar does not glow under a black light. The glow observed under a black light is typically due to fluorescent substances that react to the ultraviolet light emitted by the black light, which vinegar does not contain.
