How do you know if you have a raw diamond?
The normal test is to 'beep' it with a thermal diamond tester. This device measures how fast the material conducts heat and can thus tell if it is real diamond or not (diamond is the best heat conducting material at room temperature). Basically every jewelry store has one of these, so you can ask them to test it for you. Physically, if the stone appears to be clear, even though it's coloured -- and it is extremely hard, it's worth taking it in for testing. See below for photos of raw diamonds.
How much did the raw diamond weigh in milligrams?
This depends entirely on the diamond in question.

First, you can confirm that what you're holding is a diamond. The field test for diamond is 'extreme' hardness.

You can see photos of other raw diamonds, below.
How do you tell an uncut diamond is real?

What is the value of a diamond rock?
Your question is about a raw diamond. A raw diamond must be evaluated for its natural colour and clarity. Then you can work with a diamond cutter to estimate the value of a cut diamond that can be 'rescued' from the raw diamond. The diamond cutter may offer to purchase the raw stone, or work out another arrangement with you for its ultimate value. Typically more than 50% of the carat weight of a raw diamond is lost during the cutting process.
What simple test helps to determine if a diamond is found?
