Scintillation Scintillation in a diamond is the captivating sparkle that appears as flashes of light when the diamond moves. This sparkle includes both white flashes, known as 'flash scintillation,' and rainbow-colored flashes, called 'fire scintillation.' Together, they give the diamond a lively brilliance that catches the eye. This metric measures light returned from a single beam across nine rotational positions. Each white point represents light that is returned from the diamond and dispersed as fire. The greater the number of white points, the higher the level of scintillation, showcasing the diamond’s dynamic sparkle and brilliance.
The Octagon Nova’s cut maximizes scintillation, providing unparalleled reactivity.
