How important is flourescence in choosing a diamond?  I was recommended this diamond, but it says that the flourescence is negligible as opposed to none.  Does this make a difference?

You will not notice anything in a diamond with negligible flourescence. Don't give it a second thought.

'Negligible' is a more scientifically accurate term and it's prefered by AGS Lab to describe stones where the grader didn't see any significant fluorescence during their testing.  'None' is an impossible scientific standard but it's a more commonly understood word and GIA prefers to use it for that reason. In practical terms, they both mean the same thing and shouldn't be a worry.
