No, it's not an Infinity. This was a recut-candidate which we declined. I received the owner's permission to post those images.diamondseeker2006|1355430316|3330507 said:Wow!!! Is it Infinity? I guess maybe you can't post if it is which is rather dreadful because we'd really like to see a regular shot of it!
Pedestrian traffic is too heavy for glamour pics at street level. To get an outside shot we must hang Paul out the 8th floor office window holding the diamond and a camera. He's skinny and I am strong like bull, so it might work. But alas we already returned the diamond to the owner...JaneSmith|1355431085|3330521 said:Oh my goodness! That is just lovely! Does it glow a bit in normal sunshine? Can you take a picture outside please? It is a (long term) goal of mine to own a large diamond with such strong blue fluor that it glows outside in sunshine.

I can tell you that it has a warm blue, almost purple, glow that's quite visible in normal daylight. The glow disappears under lighting with no UV component.
The owner is quite keen to sell it, and located in the USA. The diamond should be back in their hands tomorrow.
Now now... I only said we declined it - I don't want to hurt its feelings by calling it poor.hoover|1355433269|3330549 said:ETA: what made it a poor recut candidate?
He used to cycle you know. By locking his knees his lower body could become a suitable lever for different photographic angles and altitudes.Rhino|1355434269|3330559 said:The thought of you holding Paul out of the window of the 8th floor.... HAHA

Yes. You might be interested in the post above, from 13 Dec 2012 17:24.diamonds-are-friends|1355667568|3332635 said:out of curiosity, are there different intensity levels of very strong fluorescence just like how there are different performance for stones with GIA excellent cut.
