[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 507571, member: 487"] LED torches work well for the purpose. Only about 1 in 8 diamonds flouresce under UV light, most rubies will flouresce. They can be handy to have in the kit. The main use I had for mine was to identify jewellery with multiple diamonds, if 1 or 2 stones flouresced then you could pretty much guarantee they were real diamonds. You can pick up the LED uv lights on ebay for about $10. [/QUOTE]
