Synthetic diamonds grown using a solvent-catalyst containing nickel give optical absorption and luminescence with zero-phonon structure at 1.401 and 1.404 eV. We show that the zero-phonon lines are split as a result of the different natural isotopes of nickel. The sign and magnitude of the splitting are consistent with this assignment.
