The DiamondNite Diamond-Moissanite Tester
Diamond Testers are electronic instruments with a fine tipped probe
that contact the stone and convert the level of thermal conductivity
into a positive or negative test for Diamond. Diamonds have very
high thermal conductivity, so a Diamond Tester is able to rule out all
other simulants such as Cubic Zirconia, YAG, GGG, etc. But
beware; Moissanite (a mineral) is the only stone than can fool the
electronic diamond tester
Moissanite is a rare mineral that can be found in meteorites and in
terrestrial samples. It belongs to the carbon group and because of
its similarity to diamonds it is used as a replacement for diamonds in
fashion and in science applications.
When Moissanite was first introduced to the market it created a
great deal of publicity. This was due to the fact that Moissanite
would often fool a jeweler into thinking it was a natural diamond.
Moissanite gemstones are such a close match to diamonds that
even skilled jewelers cannot tell the two apart. Both the Nova and
20/20 TV news shows did segments featuring hidden cameras
showing jewelers fooled and embarrassed by Moissanite.
The only way to make sure it is a diamond, is to use an all-in-one
tester for Diamonds and synthetic Moissanite. Choose this if you
want the security of an all-inclusive test in the convenience of a
single instrument.
The DiamondNite is the first and only one step dual tester for non-
diamonds such as cubic zirconia, artificial Moissanite, or genuine
diamond. Just touch the probe to the stone - no beep means it is a
CZ or other fake, the first continuous beep means diamond (green
light), or if it is followed by a lower continuous beep, then it's
moissanite (red light).
The initial warm-up time is five seconds-the test itself takes only 1.5
seconds, and recovery time between tests is an astonishing one
second!
