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.
What else can I help you with?
How much did the raw diamond weigh in milligrams?
This depends entirely on the diamond in question.
How do you test raw diamond at home?
Testing a raw diamond at home can be challenging without the proper equipment. One common method is using a diamond tester, which measures a diamond's thermal conductivity to determine if it's real. Alternatively, you can check for imperfections or inclusions under a jeweler's loupe, though this method is less reliable. Consulting a professional jeweler is the most recommended way to accurately test a raw diamond.
How do you tell if you have a raw diamond?
A raw diamond will have a rough, unpolished surface with a dull appearance. It may also appear cloudy or opaque due to impurities. If you are unsure, it is best to have the diamond evaluated by an expert gemologist.
How do you test raw diamond?
The field test for a raw diamond is 'extreme hardness'. Otherwise, pick up the stone and take it to a jeweler, who may be able to confirm that you have picked up a diamond and not another clear mineral.
How do you process a raw diamond to a finished diamond?
Raw stones are mined from the earth, separated from the surrounding material, sorted/ graded and then sold/ brokered to diamond buyers. (Seventy-five percent of diamonds mined are employed in industry; only about 25% of mined diamonds are of gem quality.) Diamond buyers/ brokers then move the gem-quality stones to cutting operations, where the raw stones are evaluated for colour and clarity. Plans are developed to highlight the colour and clarity of each individual stone while preserving the highest carat weight. (About 60% of a raw stone's weight is lost in the cutting process.) Then the stones are cut and polished, and sold to brokers/jewelers who mount the finished diamonds into jewelry.
What is an uncut diamond called?
The proper words are raw diamond, raw stone, rough diamond, uncut diamond -- all are appropriate.
How do you know if you have found a uncut diamond?
Take the raw stone to a jeweler who can apply a probe to the stone to determine whether or not it could be an uncut diamond.
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.
How much did the raw diamond weigh in milligrams?
This depends entirely on the diamond in question.
What is an 8 faced diamond?
You're asking about a raw diamond, one that has not been cut or polished. In context, sometimes a raw diamond's "... eight corners are truncated by the eight faces of the octahedron." This is one description of a diamond's raw, crystalline form. You can read more about the geometric descriptions of raw diamonds, below.
How much does the raw diamond weigh in milligrams if a diamond cutter has a raw diamond that weighs 19.5 carats and from which two carat diamonds will be cut?
The raw diamond of 19.5 carats weighs about 3900 milligrams. Remember, though that raw, gem-quality diamonds can lose about 60% of their weight when cut and polished.
What do areal diamond look like in the raw?
A raw diamond looks like two square pyramids attached at the base.
How do use diamond cuts diamond in a sentence?
The diamond cutter taught the intern how a diamond cuts diamond as they cut and polished the raw stone.
How much is 1ct rough diamond?
Industrial raw diamonds are much less expensive that gem-quality raw diamonds. You can visit the site, below, and look for the raw diamond that you want to buy.
What are some examples of raw materials?
examples of raw materials are Diamond, Suger and Aluminum.

How long does it take to divide a one carat diamond with a mechanical diamond saw?
Your answer depends on the orientation of the raw diamond.
