In the field, any clear or translucent stone may be mistaken for a gem-quality diamond. The field test for diamond is 'extreme hardness'.
In the jewelery store, many natural gems can appear diamond-like, given the top look of a diamond. Look-alikes can include Moissanite, sapphire, quartz, topaz and so forth.
There are also manufactured gemstone look-alikes, generally called CZs.
