Identification

Intense purplish red diamond treated by HPHT and irradiation

This week we received two natural diamonds with an intense purplish red color, treated by irradiation and annealed at high temperature. These diamonds showed a strong and ‘patchy’ green luminescence under the UVL due to the H3 centers, and a red color produced by (N-V)- centers.
The combination of both defects results in a yellow color.
What a spectacular luminescence display! We hope to see more of those!
