Will Asha® test positive on a diamond tester?
No, it will not. Even though the upper layer of Asha® contains a multitude of tiny diamond crystals (Amorphous diamond), they are linked together by SP2 bonds instead of SP3 as in gem diamond. Thus, the heat signature is different and this is reflected when testing by a diamond tester. Note that diamond testers simply measure *heat conductivity*, they do not actually detect the presence of “SP3 carbon, or diamond”. Thus, traditional diamond testers are sometimes also fooled by colorless sapphire and Moissanite. Return to our online showroom to buy your very own Asha® Diamond Simulant.
