    Definitely not.  I had known this for some time and so I never did
    try it, but someone I used to work with did (I was no longer working
    there so I couldn't warn him) and yes, the color went bad.  By the
    way, perhaps it's a spelling error, but the term is "irradiated".  I
    only know of blue and green diamonds that are irradiated for color
    enhancement, but I would probably not try putting heat to any colored
    diamond.  Perhaps there is more information on this from other
    members here on the forum.
