There is a request, submitted by Catfurball, for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Misplaced Pages.

The rationale behind the request is: "Important".

"Incandescent lighting will not cause a diamond to fluoresce."

Shouldn't it say "visible light," since there are incandescent ultraviolet lights? And shouldn't "Ultraviolet" in the preceding sentence be lowercase? 67.180.143.89 (talk) 15:55, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Rarity of diamonds

This piece states that diamonds are very rare, but this is not true. Multiple sources exist to counter that notion, e.g., from the International Gem Society. Diamond production has been heavily controlled to suit specific merchants. 2001:861:5E49:DF60:DD77:2926:A831:39E3 (talk) 15:11, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
