For interested gemophiles here''s an article in Science Daily about the Hope diamond.
>
Arguably the most popular museum exhibit in the world, the Hope Diamond is blue but phosphoresces reddish-orange after exposure to UV light. Most blue diamonds that phosphoresce produce blue light. The Hope is a mysterious and historic stone; if you have a chance to see it don''t pass it up.
