Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho foram analisados 49 diamantes coloridos da coleção Luiz Paixão incorporados 1954 ao acervo do Museu de Geociências do IGc-USP. Os diamantes foram pesados, medidos, fotografados e alguns foram escolhidos para análise espectroscópica no UV-VIS com a finalidade de auxiliar no estudo de centros de cor e distinção sobre a origem da cor nos diamantes quanto esta ser natural ou artificialmente induzida. Pelo resultado da interpretação dos espectros obtidos, uma parte desta coleção de diamantes coloridos sofreu tratamentos de cor por irradiação, demonstrando que no Brasil na época da formação desta coleção já era possivel de encontrar diamantes tratados o que é um fato interessnte considerando os poucos reatores nucleares existentes na época.

Abstract in English
This work presents results of an analysis of 49 colored diamonds from the Luiz Paixão Collection, donated 1954 to the Geological Museum of Geoscience Institute of University of São Paulo. They have been measured, photographed and some have been selected for detailed spectroscopic analysis by UV/VIS spectroscopy. By this method it is possible to detect if the color of the diamond is natural or produced by treatment. The presence of specific absorption peaks and their intensity in the spectrograms revealed that all blue and green diamonds indeed showed signs of treatment and their color is not natural. This is a very interesting fact and shows that already in times before the donation treated diamonds were apparently easily available in Brasil. Considering the paucity of nuclear reactors in the United States or in Europe in those times this result is very surprising.
