Distinguish between AD and Diamond and how to find the difference between them?
AD stands for American Diamond and it resembles natural diamond. We can observe the difference between AD and diamond when they are seen through eye glass. When posed to sunlight, usually AD shines reflecting 7 colors whereas Diamond shines with white as reflecting color. Moreover, there is difference in terms of their weightage (Diamond weighs 3.50 to 3.53gm/cm3.). One more distinctive feature of Diamond is that it has got Cutting in both layers i.e., inner layer and outer layer whereas Ad had got only outer layer Cutting. The following experiment helps us to identify the difference between the two.Take a paper and mark it using black ink. Now place AD on this mark such that the pointed edge of AD is on the mark. When observed through paper the other edge the mark can be seen whereas the mark cannot be seen in diamond.
