Garry H (Cut Nut) Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,577 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 8/16/2000	A lot of dealers find you internet buyers to be over informed with all the trade codswallop, so they avoid diamonds that have sale killing comments. I applaud you for looking for rather than avoiding fluoro diamonds. I like them too. On the other hand, can you tell the difference between very nicely cut non H&A's and H&A's diamonds? I can not.

Lions, Tigers & Bears Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,107 Last Post: 9/12/2005 Member Since: 10/18/2003	I am going to get SLAMMED for this but I have held an H&A next to a very very well cut diamond not technically an H&A and I couldn't see much difference.... Look for very well cut stones with good HCA scores and scope images; see out those among the group with flour. and you'll be able to satify your need for a sparkly rock with flour. PS I also tend to like stones with some flourescence. _____________________________________________ Don't breed or buy when homeless pets continue to die.

Brian Knox Cut Rock Total Posts: 337 Last Post: 2/5/2005 Member Since: 3/26/2004	Hi, I feel the I/J/K range of color in well cut stones with blue flourescence represent a real value in diamonds for consumers. I seek these diamonds out and buy them for stock whenever possible. When I show a well cut J/K with med. bl. Fl. to a customer, they cannot beleive that it is priced 40% less than a G color that looks identical in most lighting conditions. Brian Knox

Yes, there are H&A diamonds with fluorescence. Your observation about their rarity is correct for reasons Sir Garry mentioned. I tend to stand arm in arm with quaeritur and Garry on this topic. A dash of fluor does not distract and, in fact, appeals to me. Brian astutely noted that near-colorless stones may improve in appearance with fluor in the mix (this sounds like a cake recipe, no?). Additionally, I simply like the way they come to life in dance club blacklight... Ice Ice Baby! I have a D-VS1 H&A with medium fluor and love it in daylight, shoplight, candlelight or boogielight John __________________________ John Pollard Whiteflash Director of Education 2004-2007

Rhino Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,865 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/29/2001	I'd agree with the consenus here as well. Faint or medium blue fluorescence presents no problem at all. Even in some that are strong although I approach those with a little more caution. Rhino Good Old Gold
