abradabra Cut Rock Total Posts: 402 Last Post: 1/7/2006 Member Since: 7/25/2004	Has anyone ever shined a laser pointer into their diamond before? I just got proposed to yesterday and have been having the best time playing with what is supposed to be my cat's toy! When you shine it into my center diamond, all three stones glow red and little beams of light shine all over the room. It is the coolest thing I have ever seen!

While the laser pointers dont have a lot of energy they can cause eye damage fairly quickly if it hits the eye under some circumstances. ...........

I waited till night time when the room can be completely dark and I shined the pointer to the diamond and BOOM... little red sparkles all over the walls and ceiling. I had a BLAST playing with it. * who doesn't love a sparkling ROCK *

Oooh, just had a thought. My mouse is one of those laser ones with the red light. Let me see if it works. Nope, but it does glow a really pretty red.

I was trying to see if I can see the RAY-TRACING effect and see the light return pattern.... but no success with the laser pointer. * who doesn't love a sparkling ROCK *

boonerings Cut Rock Total Posts: 157 Last Post: 8/30/2009 Member Since: 10/31/2003	Something you'll notice with laser light is that there seems to be speckles in the light when it shines on a surface. This is cause by the coherent lightwaves of the laser interfering in your eyeball! The effect becomes more grainy the further from the reflected laser light you get. If you move your head side to side, the speckles move. It's pretty interesting to see. I used to make homemade holograms (3D pictures made with a laser) and the effect is very noticeable with them. On Halloween, I always pull out the laser and mess with the neighborhood kids. You can make thier plastic pumkins light up from about a half mile away. As strmrdr mentioned, lasers are so concentrated that the parallel beam gets focused to a pinpoint in your eye, so a direct hit from a beam can cause eye damage. Be careful of those reflections in the stones! Bruce Boone Boone Titanium Rings www.boonerings.com
