Indian Steve asked: "When Are You ACTUALLY Going To Show Us TEST RESULTS Or Documentation From A Professional? Surely Your Diamond Tester Has Arrived By Now? Did It Arrive And Not Show The Results That You Wanted?"

and stated: "It doesn't get here til the 12th."
==============

That was June, it is now July 25th, has that kit arrived Caleb12, and if so, what does it tell you because you have repeatedly told us we don't know what we are talking about when we try to explain why all your rocks are not Diamonds.

Wrong, they do work on rough diamonds, they use heat to test the diamond to see how fast it absorbs the heat and rough or cut it works the same

"The odds of finding a diamond are equal to being struck by lightning on your birthday 20 years in a row. Even if you found a real diamond, purchased a diamond tester to verify, nobody will take you seriously. The ONLY way you will convince anybody it is a real diamond is to have it certified by the Gemmological Institute of America (GIA). For a fee they will test your "diamond" and give you a certificate absolutely, positively identifying it as diamond, plus they will give you back the diamond unharmed. With that certificate you will have proof of your find, and buyers will be seriously interested in purchasing your find.

Because a GIA certificate will eventually be required anyway, save your money and do NOT buy a diamond tester. Instead send it straight to the GIA for a certification."

oh for ****s sake...... anything to match your viewpoint eh? GET IT TESTED. If your tester says its not a diamond its something like 99 percent likely that its not a diamond.

I'm curious as to where you found this alleged diamond with trigons. Is the crystal clear (it can have color)? Are there distinct, measurable "steps" between the levels of trigons? Can you separate one of the trigons from the remainder of the crystal with something like a knife blade? Other than the surface irregularities, what is the general shape of the crystal? Have you trotted over to a local jeweler to have it tested?

If the crystal is, in general, hexagonal and has a step-wise progression of that could be confused with trigons, you could have a sample of bismuth. Remember, trigons, when found on diamonds, don't stack in a regular pattern, rather, they occur at points of natural cleavage lines.
