Let\u2019s first identify the two types of raw diamonds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural Raw Diamonds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Diamonds that are removed from the earth by mining industries are considered natural raw diamonds. These diamonds are typically more expensive because of the lengthy, labor-intensive mining process. Although very rare, natural raw diamonds can be found by accident. The steps and tests found later in this article can help you determine if your suspected diamond is real or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lab Raw Diamonds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Diamonds that come from lab processes are considered to be lab raw diamonds. These diamonds are typically less expensive because the lab process is much less costly than the mining process. Lab grown diamonds<\/a> have the same features and atomic makeup as natural diamonds<\/a> that are mined from the earth. Lab grown diamonds have many advantages compared to natural raw diamonds, including that they are more ethical and affordable<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The odds of finding a raw diamond are very low, but not impossible.
