Diamonds Are Fluorescent!?! (And Target Tumors!)

Somehow, it doesn’t have the same ring to it as the Bond title.

:cool:

About 10 years ago my mom was planting sunflowes in our front yard when she dug up a diamond ring. We were unable to find out who it belonged to, and it just sat around our house for years. On my 18th birthday, I got a necklace with the stone as a solitaire. It glows yellow-green under a blacklight, which isn’t quite as awesome as glowing for hours, but is still kind of cool.

I’ve heard of gold nanoparticles being used similarly. Perhaps a new line jewelry for the nanoputians ?

Maybe not, but it still scans.

Diamonds are fluorescent
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won’t leave in the night,
I’ve no fear that they might desert me.
