It just looks like a cobble stone to me, so my first guess would be; more stone.

We can't it is because the owner said that it is a diamond they have buyer's but they don't trust the buyer's.

Diamonds have a definite crystal form. The are normally octahedrons or decaoctahedrons. The generally do not occur as "boulders". Looks like no diamond I have ever seen. Your item has no crystal shape.

No, no, no, A2. Diamonds are very hard, but brittle. A hammer blow could easily fracture a dimaond inside, though I seriously doubt there is one. Maybe a monster garnet, though...LOL

I think it may be a geode. It is not a diamond. When sliced open, I believe you're going to find agate, with possibly a crystalline core.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard krynox! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) - members may have more success helping you (your location may help, etc.)...

2nd - You might consider posting your unknown find on Geological Forums > Rocks/Gems for help in its ID.

Let me put it this way:

If this is a case of "you break it, you buy it", I wouldn't worry too much about it.
You are just as likely to find a bicycle inside that rock, not a diamond.

:icon_scratch:So the owner said it's a diamond, and the owner said he/she has buyer's, but the owner doesn't trust the buyer's? Sounds like a scam to me. I think it's a leverite!

As digger460 said, it looks like a nice specimen of leaverite. Of course, it may be some unknownium. In either case, I'd be real surprised if there was a diamond lingering within. Perhaps the owner has a radiograph (x-ray) of the internals that would show and octohedron that he or she thinks to be a diamond.

Regardless, it is a nice specimen of stone.

I've research about unprocessed Black diamonds and I found out that our pic is similar as what I've found in google name as "Carbonados". I will attach a pic that came from google. And help me judge if it's the same. 52958291_652330761881189_3267000275663060992_n.png
