Dave,

Is Yellow UV Fluorescence from nature diamonds in your video. It should very rare phenomena for nature diamonds

Good to hear your voice aside the usual delightful posts for once!

Many times you have mentioned wearing a diamond with unusually strong fluorescence, is it the one in the picture ?

The yellow fluorescent diamond is about a 1.20ct stone that I don''t own, but happened to be on my desk at the moment I came up with the idea to do the video. It is an unsual color for sure and it is poor enough clarity that it probably is natural. It is several year in the possession of a married couple.

The large white fluorescent stone is the one I wear every day. Ideally cut, brilliant in incandescent light and milky in UV saturated light with a faintly violet hue of fluorescence in sunlight on a blue day. It is not a great diamond for an engagement ring, but makes a very different sort fo center for a man''s ring.

Glad everyone liked the video. It was my very first video of anything. Never made a movie for anyone or of anything before.
