Re: Radioactive gems circulating in Asia? -Reply
Does anyone know what the desired result is for irradiating a "cats eye"? I
know neutron irradiation of diamonds can darken them up to making them black,
however to my knowledge, the diamonds didn't become activated. Also, the
original diamond color could be restored by heating with an acetylene torch.
