Because of its rarity and desirability, treating a naturally clear diamond to make it look blue -- which will only occur if the diamond already contains boron -- is one way a jeweler can increase the profit made on the sale of a diamond. Treated diamonds should be documented as treated stones. Gemologists will always be able to detect modification of a diamond, which devalues the gem.
