What does a hard stone do on diamond?

You might be asking whether or not you could damage a diamond using a hard stone. With that assumption, here is one answer. If you strike the diamond 'just right' and the diamond has an inclusion or flaw along a stress point that you happened to hit 'just right' with the large stone, you may be able to damage the diamond. Otherwise, a diamond is the hardest mineral known. And because of its value, you might not want to experiment with one using a large stone to damage it.


What kind of stone or mineral can break a diamond?

The diamond is the hardest mineral and stone on earth: nothing natural can 'break' it. Diamond cutters use other diamonds to cut, facet and polish diamonds. Recently, however, powerful lasers have been added to the diamond-cutters toolbox.


What is a diamond ring made out of?

A diamond ring typically consists of a metal band, such as gold or platinum, and a diamond center stone. The diamond is held in place by prongs or a setting. The band may also be embellished with smaller diamonds or other gemstones.


How can I tell if I have a real diamond?

To determine if a diamond is real, you can perform tests such as the fog test (breathe on the stone and see if the fog dissipates quickly) or the water test (drop the stone into water to see if it sinks). You can also seek professional help from a jeweler who can accurately assess the authenticity of the diamond using specialized tools.


How is the easiest way you can tell if a diamond is fake?

One of the easiest ways to tell if a diamond is fake is by conducting a fog test. Simply breathe on the diamond and observe how quickly it clears. A real diamond will disperse the fog quickly, while a fake diamond will hold the fog for a few seconds.
