A thermal diamond tester is a tool used by anyone interested in verifying that a gem is indeed a diamond. The tool uses electronics connected to a probe with a fine tip that reads the stone's level of thermal conductivity to positively or negatively test for the mineral diamond.

What is the height of Neil Diamond?
Neil Diamond is 5' 11"
What is a multi tester?
A multi-tester can test:Voltage, Amperage, Resistance, Continuitysome can test temperature, phase rotation, frequency. It all depends on how much you spend, what kind of features they have.

How do I test quartz from diamond?
Have you ever heard of the Moh's scale? I believe quartz ranks 7 and diamond 10. If you can obtain topaz which is more common then Corundum and it leaves a streak on the mineral then the mineral is Quartz, but if the topaz or coundum is scratched then it is indeed a valuable diamond.
Would a light meter tell if a stone is an antique European cut diamond?
I think you are referring to the 'thermal diamond tester or thermal probe' (instead of light meter) but it will work on any cut. It tests the thermal conductivity of the material, so the cut does not matter or affect it. Thermal probe is not a confirmatory testing device to separate diamond from synthetic mossanite. Synthetic moissanite which has a thermal conductivity very similar to diamond and as a result gives the same reaction to the thermal testers, as diamond. Even highly included diamonds may give false readings.
Can a rough diamond be tested by a diamond tester?
Yes.
Will a diamond tester test only diamonds?
You can apply a diamond tester to anything else, but the information you read on the instrument will be meaningless, unless you are testing a diamond.
How do you identify diamond?
The best way to identify a diamond is to use a diamond tester. It is a handheld device which sends a thermal beam (heat) inside the stone and reads how fast the stone conducts the heat. Each mineral has a different heat conductive coefficient so this way you can tell a diamond from other stones. However, a moissanite (a withe stone grown in the lab) has the same response as a diamond so a diamond tester may confirm the moissanite as a diamond. Recently, a moissanite tester has been developed , so it can differentiate a diamond from a moissanite. Also a moissanite turns deep yellow when heated with a torch then turns back to white when cools down. Also, it is possible that a trained eye can see a greenish color it the moissanite.
How do you test diamond?
Diamonds conduct heat so you can test them with a diamond tester.
How do you find out if a diamond is real besides testing it with a diamond tester.?
A 'quick and dirty' test is to pass the diamond over glass. If it cuts the glass, it's probably a diamond. Some 'fake' diamonds cloud up under cold water; a real diamond remains clear. Finally, a certified gemologist will always be able to tell whether a diamond is a real diamond, or a 'fake' diamond -- using a diamond tester.
How do you know if diamond brooch is real?
By using a Diamond tester on the Diamonds and checking the hallmarks, if in doubt, check it out and take to a jewellers
Does diamond demonstrate electrical conductivity?
No. Diamond is a thermal conductor, but an electrical insulator.
Why diamond is used in Rockwell hardness tester?
Diamond is the hardest natural mineral, raking at 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Thus, it is a standard.
What is the name of the instrument used when buying diamond?
Generally, the instrument is a check, cash or a credit card. If, however, you want to verify that the stone that you are buying is a diamond, you need a diamond tester.
Is a diamond a thermal and electrical conductor?
A diamond is a superior conductor of thermal energy (heat). It's better at this than anything else we know of. But diamond is a poor conductor of electricity. It's actually a pretty good insulator.
