Fluorescence

[Steve]

If a diamonds fluorescence is listed as "Faint" does that mean it is faint blue... ? I've heard that blue is the only acceptable fluorescence. How would a "Faint" fluorescence effect an F color diamond? Is a "Faint" fluorescence noticable without magnification?

Thanks

The faint blue flourescence should not effect the color. I think the only way you could tell is if you put it directly under a black light and even then who knows depending on how faint the flourescence is.

But all it says is that the flourescence is "faint". Does that mean it is blue flourescence?

Yeah, I think so. It is the most common, and if it doesn't specify I think it is a given that it is blue.
