Tasting a diamond may mean touching it to your tongue. Your teeth would not be able to chew it and it would pass unaltered through your digestive system if you swallowed it.

You would probably not die, especially from just touching it to your tongue.

What is the difference between a regular diamond and a diamond that is classified as certified diamond?

A certified diamond is one that has been evaluated by a professional in whatever certification method is documented by the certificate. For example, the Gemological Institute of America -- GIA -- certifies diamonds by documenting the colour, clarity, cut and carat weight of the diamond. This establishes the individual characteristics of the gem. A non-certified diamond can only be evaluated according to the expertise of the person evaluating the diamond, and usually without certification. It's characteristics, therefore, are uncertain.
