[QUOTE="Brumble-Gum, post: 607240, member: 1569"] I was going through my bag of small clear/yellow zircons today when I noticed that some of the small ones had a shiny outside more than the others. They were the straw yellow zircons you find and ranged from 0.25 to 0.5 carats. I put them under UV light and they glowed a brighter yellow than normal zircons. I know diamonds are supposed to be blue under UV, however I saw that yellow ones glow yellow (like a clear zircons). Knowing that alot of Aussie diamonds are a straw yellow colour. Does anyone have a confirmed diamond and have they seen it under UV? Was it yellow, blue or no colour? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
