DIAMOND COLOR

 Color

Under normal lighting conditions, a diamond acts as a prism with the ability to split light into its many components, which results in the many flashes of colors commonly referred to as fire. And like any transparent object through which light passes, the production of fire is the best when nothing hinders its transmission inside the diamond. Slight amount of coloring in the diamond (mostly caused by impurities) can act as filters that reduce the amount of colorful flashes and therefore resulting in a less brilliant fire. Diamonds with very little or no coloring are more highly valued than those with moderate coloring.
