These 7 Crystals Are Actually Raw Diamonds Worth Thousands of Dollars!

In today's video, you are going to see how to recognize seven natural rough diamond crystal shapes in river gravels before mistaking them for common creek pebbles. Natural diamonds rarely look like polished jewelry store gems when they weather out of volcanic kimberlite pipes into alluvial streams. Instead, deep mantle pressure and volcanic etching shape pure carbon into sharp octahedrons with inverted trigons, rounded resorbed dodecahedrons, flat triangular macle twins, frosted cuboid stones, radiation coated green skins, fibrous ballas spheres, and irregular cleavage fragments. We compare each diamond habit against lookalikes like Herkimer quartz, white topaz, zircon, fluorite, and white sapphire using practical field tests. What You Will Learn in This Video: How kimberlite pipes and alluvial rivers concentrate heavy rough diamonds alongside pyrope garnet and ilmenite How to distinguish a classic diamond octahedron with inverted trigons from Herkimer quartz and fluorite Why volcanic resorption creates rounded dodecahedrons and how to separate them from white topaz and phenakite How to spot the herringbone twin seam on a flat triangular macle diamond versus spinel and broken glass Practical ways to test frosted cuboid diamonds, radiation-coated green skin diamonds, and fibrous ballas nodules How to separate irregular diamond cleavage fragments from colorless zircon, goshenite, and alluvial white sapphire Tools & Equipment Mentioned in This Video: Classifier screens and traditional saruca concentrating sieve Ten power triplet jeweler loupe for inspecting trigons and herringbone seams Synthetic corundum or sapphire plate for scratch hardness ten verification Electronic thermal conductivity diamond probe Digital carat scale and cup of water for hydrostatic specific gravity testing Longwave and shortwave ultraviolet flashlight Learn how to identify gemstones yourself 🎯Start your Gemology Journey for Beginners: ➡ https://domviron.com/ebook/ 📩 For copyright concerns or collaboration inquiries, please contact: cabodanau@domviron.com — we’re happy to cooperate! #GemHunting #RawDiamonds #MineralIdentification #Rockhounding #PreciousStones
