TESTING A DIAMOND
REQUIRES. AN EXPERT
so NEAR PERFECT THAT De
LECTION is DIFFICULT BY
COMMON TESTS.
indianapolis News)


Curiosity as to whether diamond
is real or imitation is something that
has never been explained. In late
years limitations have been made that
deceive the average eye, and, at dis
lance, even the expert. 1t is now
possible to buy for almost nothing a
stone which in the ordinary business
Of life. passes as genuine, especially II
lit is known that the wearer is able to
afford diamonds And the popular
notion that wealthy persons who own
expensive diamonds do not wear the
real jewels, but exact limitations In
order to defeat whatever plans thief
may have to get hold Of them, adds to
curiosity regarding the genuineness of
diamonds. 1t is by no means uncom-
mon to see an actress appear wearing
enough diamonds to rival a princess
and in this case the public naturally
suspects deception. Yet with the as
sistance of the footlights and the dis
lance between the audience and the
stage, the diamonds put up a brave
show and the audience is naturally
led to inquire, perhaps, unconscious
nv, If deceiving the public in regard to
diamonds is not practiced. off the stage
as well as on.
A diamond expert writing in the
Scientific American, has set forth
some simple rules for determining the
genuine diamonds. In some cases i'm
itations, cut from stones of one kind
or another may survive one or two
tests, but there are other tests which
show beyond doubt the character of
the stone. The common method of
drawing a diamond across glass is not
nearly so infalIible as commonly sup
posed because there are limitations
which will scratch. However, they
will not cut it. That is, after the
scratch is made by an imitation, and
break about as if it had not been
scratched. If the scratch has been
made by genuine diamond in good
condition and the glass is struck, it
will break along the line Of the
scratch. 1t is also impossible to
scratch a real diamond with file,
II but as a rule limitations can be
scratched. A similar test is to put
the stone between the edges of two
coins and press them together The
edges of real diamond will not be
Clipped, but an imitation will gener-
| ally show signs of crushing. After
the test a thorough examination with
a microscope is necessary. When a
diamond is cleaned and thoroughly
dry, place drop of water on 1t and
! try to move the drop with a needle
point. 1t can be shifted intact If
the stone is an imitation, a
touch of the needle will cause the wa
ter to spread out and flow off. BY
placing real diamond and an imita-
ton in tumbler Of clear water, it
will be seen that while the diamond
appears much brighter, the imitation
loses it's sparkle.
There is also difference in the
way things look through real and i'm
itation diamonds. A small black spot
