DEFECTIVE DIAMONDS

The Sages of the ancient times have identified many demerits which should enlighten the native about the authencity of a diamond piece. These are: 1. Paleness, 2. Yellowish ness, 3. Lined, 4. Full of Depressions in the Mass, 5. Oily, 6. Glaze less, 7.Extremely Hard, 8. Dotted with Black Bubbles, 9. Having White Dots and having the Sign of a Crow's Claws. This apart, the diamond pieces with red dots are highly injurious. It is called a killer diamond. Diamond piece with the look of a fly, having hair like lines, with the blotches of clay in the mass, stray granules of solid dust, burnt, blemished, without lustre, and brittle-type diamond would seldom ensure happy results. Similarly, the diamond pieces spotted with water bubbles are also not auspicious.
