  • I am no wiser

    Just found what looks like a diamond

    It sparkle in the sunlight, I saw it from a 100 metres away as a bright light.

    the closer i got to it, the smaller the light became and when I was on top of it I could hardly see it.

    Now ! is that a diamond.

    You people who do not have sunlight all year round might not be able to answer

  • UMMMMM.......WHAT ?

  • Following my first answer. About the facets junction it i not true because you can find a lot of badly cut diamonds on the market today and many of them have a bad cut and bad symmetry. In the other side many simulant are very easy to cut like Cubic zirconia and it is very easy to find them with a better cut than diamond...
