Gemstone irradiation is a treatment process used to enhance the color of certain gemstones. This technique involves exposing the stones to radiation, which alters their internal structure and can lead to changes in their color. The radiation can be from different sources, including gamma rays, electron beams, or neutron bombardment, and is typically carefully controlled to achieve the desired results without damaging the gemstone. The process is commonly applied to stones like quartz, topaz, and diamonds.
