Can a train break a real diamond?

Yes. Although diamond is very hard, it is also brittle. Hit a diamond with a hammer, and it WILL scratch the hammer- but the hammer will also shatter the diamond.


Why do people check to see if a diamond is real by rubbing it against glass?

People use the glass test to check if a diamond is real because diamonds are harder than glass. If a diamond is real, it will scratch the glass, whereas a fake diamond will not leave a mark. This method is not foolproof and other tests are recommended for a more accurate assessment of a diamond's authenticity.


What object or thing that can break a diamond?

Diamonds are the hardest natural material and can only be easily scratched or broken by another diamond. However, extreme force or impact from a hard blow, such as a hammer, could potentially shatter a diamond.


Does a real diamond sink or float in water?

A real diamond sinks in water because its high density makes it heavier than water. This can be a simple test to help differentiate real diamonds from fake ones, as impostors like cubic zirconia or glass are less dense and will float.


How do you detect the original diamond?

Original is not a term normally used in a context with diamonds.If you mean real or natural, then take your diamond to a jeweler who can use a probe to determine if the diamond is a real diamond. The jeweler may not be able to tell whether the diamond is a natural diamond or a man-made diamond: for that determination, please take your diamond to a certified gemologist.
