How can a genuine diamond be identified?
A genuine diamond can be identified via several tests that can be performed without the aid of tools. A knowledgeable person can recognize the surface luster, straightness and flatness of facets, and high light reflectivity. Diamonds become warm in a warm room and cool if the surroundings are cool. A simple test that can be done is exposing the stones to warmth and cold and then touching them to ones lips to determine their appropriate temperature. This is especially effective when the results of this test are compared to the results of the test done on a diamond known to be genuine. Another test is to pick up the stone with a moistened fingertip. If this can be done, then the stone is likely to be a diamond. The majority of other stones cannot be picked up in this way.
The water test is another simple test. A drop of water is placed on a table. A perfectly clean diamond has the ability to almost magnetize water and will keep the water from spreading. An instrument called a diamond probe can detect even the most sophisticated fakes. Gemologists always use this as part of their inspection.
