Beschreibung
Who has not experienced the surprises of fluorescence, when being in a club and realising that not only white shirt but even your teeth shine bright bluish white under UV light? Gemstones and particularly diamond exhibit the same phenomenon, known as "fluorescence". Various defects in diamonds cause light emission when they are exposed to e.g. ultraviolet light, and in diamond the resulting fluorescence colors and patterns can be amazingly beautiful and of great analytical importance. This 124-page A4 format hardcover coffee table book represents a collection of the most spectacular and amazing fluorescence images of natural and synthetic diamonds that have been recorded at GGTL Liechtenstein from 2010 to 2025 using the most advanced fluorescence equipment available in the market - The DFI. This book includes 98 full-page high-quality diamond fluorescence images plus scientific background information that will be helpful to the reader to understand the meaning, importance and beauty of fluorescence imaging. While being a spectacular coffee table book, it can be used as a reference for anybody who is working with diamond and who wants to understand more about its fluorescence.

Dr. Hainschwang has been working on the analysis of diamonds, colored stones and pearls for the past 29 years, and is a respected expert in the field of gemological research, with extensive experience in the complex topic of colored diamond.
Besides his expertise as a multidisciplinary gemmologist with specialization in diamond
research and testing, Dr. Hainschwang has developed and built many analytical instruments
for gem and pearl testing in the past years.
Dr. Hainschwang holds a PhD in Physics (materials science) from the University of Nantes,
