I just want to know how can I tell if a diamon is real because I have a diamon but I"m not sure if it's real can you please help me
There are fake diamonds that are man made that look like a real diamond and can scratch glass. The man made diamonds are not the zircon ones. These new diamonds are grown in labs under intense pressure from a carbon source. They sometimes fool jewelers. They are less than real diamonds but still pretty expensive for a fake. I would take it to a well known jewerly store for an appraisal.... check what they charge for appraisals beforehand.
To see if a stone is a diamond or not take a small piece of glass or a mirror and rub a corner of the stone on it. Diamonds are harder than glass, and are more than capable of scratching them when pressure is applied.
