Yep, I am working in Superfly. I will give this a whirl so I understand and save the shader for sure--thank you.  But here is the thing: I am working with gems that shine from within, and, the diamondish/glass shader on them must remain so they look like gems, if you know what I mean.

So I need something that literally lights it from within--not the material itself unless you can make a diamond/ dispersion glass shader an emitter.

Now I am absolutely not a shader guru but I sort of futz around in the material room; with the shaders I have from VinceBagna and D3D for diamond/ heavy dispersion glass, I did not find a way to make them emitters as well.
