No.
A diamond can only be cut and polished using tools tipped with diamond material.
Some applications for the use of industrial diamonds require that they be crushed before use. So, yes: diamonds can be crushed. If you're experimenting with a gem-stone quality diamond, however, your science experiment could be called a terrible waste.
Best practices dictate that if you want any control whatsoever over the size and geometry of the smaller pieces, that you take your diamond to a diamond cutter and pay to have it 'broken' into smaller pieces. If you don't care about the smaller pieces, or the value of the diamond, you could hit the diamond with a hammer and see what happens.
Calcite crystals will effervesce in vinegar, quartz will not. Quartz will scratch calcite. The opposite is not true. Quartz and calcite have different crystal structures and different specific gravities. The list goes on, but if you are trying to distinguish them, the above should help.
A diamond symbol stamped on a gold chain could indicate that the diamond is set in the gold or that the gold chain is of high quality, possibly indicating the purity of the gold. It could also serve as a branding or hallmark from the jewelry maker.
It is the authenticity of the diamond contained inside your silver ring.
i assume u could get it on ebay or online
You could try to contact a professional and hopefully get it done by them
It's possible that a raw diamond has facets -- often the crystalline structure can look like a pyramid -- or two pyramids joined at the base. Then, there would be up to four planes which could look like facets. Facets -- in the conventional, gem-stone sense -- are cut, angled and juxtaposed other facets, based on the planned cut for the raw stone.
Calcite is not soluble in water.
According to Wikipedia: "Refraction is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in its speed." So your question could also be "Why is control of the light wave through a diamond stone important to a diamond cutter?" To maximize the brilliance/ shine/ flash/ fire of a diamond cut, a stone cutter must craft the stone facets in a geometric pattern that honours diamond's natural high refraction index (2.4), so that light can 'bounce' into, within and out of the stone to the highest degree possible.

"Crushed pepper" is typically a reference to crushed red pepper or red pepper flake. This is a condiment made of crushed, dried red chili peppers. It could also refer to crushed black or white peppercorns.

Unless you have experience with jewelry, it's difficult to know.If you do have experience, usually, you try to find reasons to believe it is not a diamond.At first glance, does it look like it has rainbow colors coming out of it? If not, and it's just white light, it is probably a CZ or diamond look-alike.To prove it to be non-diamond, look at it under a loupe (10x magnification) and search for:- Scratches. A diamond can't be scratched, though it can be broken and can have natural crystal surfaces on it. If it looks "worn," it's most likely not a diamond.- Rounded Facet Junctions. Where two facets meet, it will be "polished" or rounded. A diamond will have "sharp" junctions.- Glassy or "watery" girdle. A diamond will have a "soft" looking girdle, little tiny facets all the way around, or a flat polished girdle. A CZ's polished girdle will look watery.- Doubling (ghostlike images of the same facet doubled) when looking into the diamond.To prove it to be a diamond, look for inclusions. If it has any mineral inclusions, it's most likely a diamond.Breathe on the diamond. If the diamond fogs up, it is definitely a fake. If not, you have a real diamond in your hands.
