Further details
Chameleon diamonds are one of the great mysteries of the diamond world. It is still not known why these diamonds change from deep green to yellow when heated or left in darkness. Gemmological studies state that the change is due to an unstable color center but they do not explain the exact nature of the centers or why they are sensitive to ultra violet light.
