A Question for the Diamond Experts regarding carbon crystals

icelady Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,030 Last Post: 10/21/2006 Member Since: 11/25/2003	I have a question regarding the affect that carbon crystals (so small that it is somewhat hard to find them with a 10X loupe) might have on the color of a diamond. 1. Could carbon crystals this small affect the diamond color? There are only 2 of them. 2. If they could affect the color could the affect be noticable only in certain light? (ie. regular indoor lighting.) The diamond is as white as can be in most lighting, especially sunlight and halogen, but not in indoor evening lighting. Could this be my imagination or that particular lighting?? Thanks in advance for your replies! icelady

Try repainting the ceiling pure white Garry Holloway FGAA DipDT HCA and Ideal-scope developer http://www.ideal-scope.com and http://www.HollowayDiamonds.com.au

By what she says: 1. the prostitute says "faster faster" (looks at watch) 2. the lover says "slower slower" (eyes closed) Read on: 3. the wife says "beige, beige! i think we will paint the ceiling beige!"
