I did. What did I do? We were trekking on a mountain on the Phils. when we found an old brown cloth marked with some chinese scripts. we took it and I took it to my house and a week later smashed it with a 20lb mace 4 times. not a scratch. Wonder how much those things cost these days. though i'm still wondering if its a diamond.

Why not take it to a pawnshop and see how much it costs? That would answer your question. You're lucky finding that huge diamond. Congrats!

pawnshops wont take it.. mainly because it's still rough. others wont believe its a diamond since its not that shiny. the reason we believe its a diamond is because it was tested positive with the pawnshop's electronic diamond tester.

If you're being serious, you're going to be a very rich man indeed. Although I'd actually be more interested in the cloth and the writing and how old it was. Very interesting.

People think its diamond though. I dont know where to take it, the cloth was stolen, they think its a clue to a treasure map or something. If its a treasure map, i dont have any regrets. What's your chance of finding something really unheard of and if this doesnt turn out to be a diamond, Im still happy i got a souvenir.

Rough diamonds - you look for a person who do diamond cut. Diamond are expensive. I hope you get rich. Diamond cuts diamond. The bigger the Diamond the Higher the price.

only diamond can scratch another diamond,but but they will shattered in a sharp blow,do a scratch test using a window glass,if the stone is not been scratch so it is a natural rough diamond,we have the same story,i found a lot of them also in phils i took into a pawnshop,and asked somebody who have knowledge in diamond,they told me it has no value because its been cut and polish yet,they told me that there are no diamond cutters in phil.but keep it its your tressure,you know rough diamond in a size of of a golf ball,that would be 1 million USD,hehehehe,just do some research about rough diamonds.good luck to you.
