Numerous attempts have been made during the
last few years to convert the yellow Cape diamonds
into white gems. A short time ago IL was announced
that a Belgian had discovered the secret and would
soon flood the market. fguratively speaking, with
white diamonds. Henry dc Parve, In recent ISSUE
of the journal des Debats,' thus speaks OF the
matter: "The chemist, VI. Gilon, conducted a series
OF experiments to discover the way 10 change the
color of diamonds In accordance with the principle
of physics governing Complementary colors Gilon
prepared q solution of alcohol and nnilne violet 10
which he added a few eramnes Of Benzoe gum. lie
dipped yellow diamond into this fluid and allowed
IL TO remain o quarter Of an hour. When he took IL
ont again, the diamond white, but 1t had lost all
its brinlancy. Gilon renewed the experiment with
stronger solution Of anillnc allowing the diamond TO
rest In the mixture only a few seconds. When the
gem was taken out of the solution IL pure white
and spanked brilliantly. Weeks later the diamond
had lost none of its whfteness or bnliancl, and G0n
Is convinced that gems so treated will long retain
these qualities. This would seem to prove that the
change Is possible. II the 'falsited stone Is looked
at through microscope, detects Whatever can b.
seen neither does the diamond lose any Of It's c1lr
when rubbed with camels hair or linen. Formerly
It was thought sufficient 10 dip false diamond into
alcohol 10 discover the treatment to which II had
been subjected, and to restore the yellow color That
often suices, 1t is true but Glons experiments made
the color so solid that alcohobah nlIed to Affect
It, Is there, them means todlscover tho spurious
ucssa Yes; and Gilon discovered II, too. 1t Is Ony
necessary to place diamond supposed 10 be coorei
into aqua regla for one second II 1t be rally false
he yellow color will return at once.'
