Weight:
Each mineral and synthetic stone has its specific weight and polished / rough diamonds has too! Don’t confuse size and weight!
Simply know the specific weight of polished and rough, uncut diamonds here to distinct simulants, moissanite, CZ, zircons, cultured, synthetic and other fake stones from real diamonds.
Example: a CZ Zircon weights about 1.31 Carats or about 55% more than a diamond for the same size.
a Moissanite of 6.5 mm (One carat size) round brilliant, weights approximately 0.87 carats.
Compare the stone to a real diamond: Use a carat or gram scale.
Transparence:
Put a line on a paper or take a printed paper. Place the stone upside down over the line or over the printed paper.
If the stone shows any sign of the line or of the printed text through, it is fake.
If the diamond is mounted, place it upside down on a piece of printed paper. If you can read through the print
or even see smudges, then it is probably not a diamond. You should not be able to see the bottom, looking directly
from the top Diamonds have a high refractive index. You cannot see through.
Steam:
Bring the stone in your mouth, exhale to procreate vapor. If the stone stays more than 3 seconds "foggy" it is probably a simulant.
Hardness:
If the stone shows abraded facet lines, magnified by loupe x 10 it is not a diamond. Take a piece of sandpaper barn the stone. If it is damaged it is a fake! "Scratch tests" on glass, metal, stones. Diamond will cut and scratch everything. Fake will not. Remember that diamond is the hardest material that exist! Fake, imitation of Rough, Uncut diamonds are generally crystals coated with diamond powder application on surface by nano technology. Fake rough and polished will be scattered on cutting wheel. Also easily interceptable in a diamond lab and by professionals
Clarity - Inclusions:
Inclusions in diamonds do help to be sure that it is a real diamond. internal and external flaws are a fingerprint, not two diamonds have exact the same characteristics.
Price:
"Cheap Diamonds" a 50% off the price for a diamond don’t exist! If the comparative price seems to good to be true, it is not good!
You can find them mostly by fraudulent sellers on Internet Auctions, online seller shops and stores.
Certification: Detect real from fake / false diamond certificates - switched diamonds
HRD, Diamond High Council and IGI from Antwerp World Diamond Center, delivers always genuine certificates with sealed diamond in a transparent secured case. GIA do deliver diamonds loose in a parcel paper; easy to switch the diamond!

That do not mean that the diamond is a fake but that you do not have any guaranty about the
quality of the diamond or eventualy a fake in the broken secured case. View image of broken seal:
Laser inscribed diamonds

Important notice!
Outsiders and non-professional diamantaires please be wise and resist the temptation of purchasing a rough diamond.
It requires many years of experience to valuate the stone.
And an expensive Sarin equipment to estimate the yield from rough. Too many ignorent buyers have bought nice pieces of glass!
