Got a diamond tester for $40. I have diamonds.:smile::cam:

I got rained out this morning and stopped by the pawn shop. The guy that
owns it is real nice and always backs up anything he sells to me.

I was looking around and asked about gold testing machines. He said he
didn't have any, but he did have a diamond tester and he would sell it to
me for $40. It was his old tester, and he has a new one. He demonstrated
it, and that was all it took.

He said he would get me the same gold testing solution that he used before
he got his electronic tester, and show me how to use it. Gonna be $20.

I already have scales, and now I will have more of an idea of the value of my
finds.

I have about 90 small diamonds and one 1/5 ct diamond and two more just
a little smaller than 1/5 ct. Don't have any real idea about the value of these
diamonds and their settings.

I did discover that a ring I thought was fake has a small, real diamond. So it
may be silver or white gold. If it's white gold that will make 6 gold rings.

I am better off than I was.

That seems like a good deal I paid close to 200.00 for my tester. Have ordered a gold tester should be in any day. Dan

Well, I guess we both may sound pretty dumb, because I have no idea how it works.

But if you click the photo in my other post, it will get bigger and you can see a little

wire bairly sticking out of the end of that tester.

When you touch that little wire to a diamond or a moisanite, the red light on the side

of the tester will go out and a green light above the red light will come on for a second.

If it is not a diamond or moisanite, the green light will not come on.

"WILL,,,WHAT IS A MOISANITE???!?? You May Ask........

How should I know??

But I was told that a moisanite is a gem-quality silicon carbide.

That's great, but now I'm really confused

Well, what ever it is, it's supposed to be worth about $500 dollars a ct.

My model tester will not discriminate out moisanite (gem-quality silicon carbide).

So, you gotta be as smart as me now.

My tester say's if its diamond or moisanite not sure what it measures but suspect its density as diamonds are much harder. Dan
