Could this be a diamond?

I apologize if my pics are not so great. The blurry ones are the only way I can show that the crystal is somewhat transparent. After I extracted the crystal from the rock, I tested it with a diamond tester and it tested as a diamond. Thank you anyone for any input.

Jason

I dunno but if you tested it with a diamond tester and it tested as a diamond - that right there makes it even more interesting.
Nice find! (y)

Thank you. I know it's likely not a diamond, but it seems to have some of the characteristics. It's hexagonal and appears to have trigons in the pictures.
 
Where did it come from?
Burleson Texas. I know there has only been one diamond found in Texas in 1911, but there are a lot of igneous rocks where I found this one and I thought I had found blue ground in this area that had been excavated. Most is weathered and yellow, but definitely igneous rock with breccia and weathered olivine.

Hard to tell, If it's hexagonal it's not a diamond, they are cubic. If you have a piece of quartz see if it scratches that. Now if you wife has a nice blue sapphire ring it would scratch that. Oh wait, bad idea. :)

I said it wrong. I meant that I thought it was octahedron when it was still in the rock because it looked like a pyramid protruding from the rock. I think it's too gold colored to be a diamond. From what I have read, raw diamonds reflect shades of gray until cut. I think it's just a pyrite cube.
