Absolutely. If you search on my name you''ll find my I colour pear diamond with strong blue fluor that has a blue tinge in strong sunlight.Date: 6/28/2010 8:17:22 AM

I have seen strong blue fluorescence of colorless diamonds natural sunlight and it looks to have a lavender or bluish tint. Therefore, I would think it will be the same for a blue diamond, in that it will make it appear bluer. Under UV, a coloulress diamond with blue fluorescence will glow blue. You can check RT for example pictures of blue fluorescence of colourless diamonds under UV and natural sunlight.Date: 6/27/2010 3:30:55 PM

No question is dumb!! Blue fluor to me isn''t really that blue, but more like very bright white in sunlight. I would think that would inhibit the saturation of blue color when explosed to UV light, but I''m not sure. Hopefully a colored diamond expert will chime in. I know yellow fluor really enhances the yellow color of fancy yellows, so that''s a good thing in the case of yellows, but I can''t imagine blue fluor helping a blue diamond''s saturation, but inhibiting it instead.
On the other hand, my Chameleon has green fluor (or yellow, I can''t remember which now) and it doesn''t seem to alter the colour BUT in all honesty it''s difficult to say as the Chameleon reacts to different lights anyway!
