In my diamond enhancer, one of the marquis cut diamonds glowed while I was in a tanning bed. I just want to know if this is normal, or if that diamond may not be real.

adavid,

Yes, real diamonds glow. It's called fluorescence and occurs naturally in many, many diamonds. You can learn more by searching for the term "fluorescence" at the top of the page!
