Gothgrrl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,203 Last Post: 6/7/2009 Member Since: 5/27/2006	Has anyone heard of white fluor? I've heard of blue, yellow and green, but not white. I am looking at a round stone that is SI/F with medium white. Would med. white be okay? ...groovy... ..this is my boomstick.. ..gimme some sugar, baby..

But I am also intrigued by the white fluor. I'm hoping more people will respond to my question. Thanks. ...groovy... ..this is my boomstick.. ..gimme some sugar, baby..

shel Cut Rock Total Posts: 141 Last Post: 12/2/2008 Member Since: 8/28/2006	The only way I can think of white fluorescence happening is if the stone fluoresced in red, green, and blue. Or blue fluoro plus yellow (since yellow is a mix of red and green). That would be weird if a diamond emitted white light when excited by UV light (but I suppose it might be possible). Shel

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	There's a couple short, expert answers in here. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=5689 Might search, there were more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Nicrez Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,230 Last Post: 10/21/2009 Member Since: 1/21/2004	I have seen pink and orange, yellow and white. Of course blue is the usual. But the PINK fluorescence was the most interesting to me...also only saw that once. Other than that white is the second most common I have seen, followed by yellow then orange. Med White is the SAME as Medium blue really. Again it's only in the UV light that they have any effect. and the colored fluorescence was not detected in daylight as the color, only in the UV light. From what I have noticed white FL should be more than fine, no difference. Being an F, with medium FL it should have a deeper discount I assume.

Fly Girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,769 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/9/2007	Gothgirl - Is the white fluor stone you are looking at discounted in price for the fluor color? Just wondering, because I saw a diamond with yellow fluor listed on the cert for sale on Blue Nile a while back and it was priced significantly less than a similar stone without the yellow fluor. I remember thinking that this would be a great buy for a pendant stone, if you wanted the size, but weren't picky about it being absolutely colorless. If the price is right, it might be worth bringing in for a look. **** Life is a Journey, not a Destination. ****

Gothgrrl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,203 Last Post: 6/7/2009 Member Since: 5/27/2006	Nicrez, yes it is discounted. I was looking at stones that had fluorescence. I am wanting one with some, after hearing how a lot of people liked them. Fly Girl, yes I am looking at a stone that has white fluor. I was thinking maybe a pendant would be nice. I am in no hurry though. CaptAubrey, that is interesting to know. I have only seen two chameleon diamonds here. Thanks to all that replied. ...groovy... ..this is my boomstick.. ..gimme some sugar, baby..
