Firefly and Superfly shaders won't be able to model the high ior and prism effect of diamonds. For Superfly there are some tutorials on the Internet how to fake a diamond with a Cycles shader, I remember BB discussing diamonds in Firefly years ago but the thread doesn't exist anymore.

Actually SuperFly is pretty good at it.

Remember to tell google the words: bagginsbill diamond superfly And you will find it.

The linked thread has more explanations, pictures, and a shader to download. https://forum.smithmicro.com/topic/255/light-splitting/32

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
