Type la and type IIa diamonds have been heated to temperatures in the range 2000-2300 °C under a pressure of about 4.8 GPa. The changes in the defect structure of these diamonds as a result of the heat treatm ent have been examined by optical absorption measurements, integrated X-ray spike measurements and by electron microscopy. Type la diamonds changed colour from colourless to yellow after being heated for 1 min in the temperature range 2250-2300 °C and it has been shown that the yellowing was due to scattering. The scattering centres responsible were elliptically shaped cracks in the cube planes with their longest dimension in a <110> direction
