All you . need is a piece of paper and a lead pen-'. pen-'. cil. With the latter make a small dot ; on the paper, then look at it through the diamond. If you can Bee but one dot you can depend upon it that the stone is ' genuine, but if the mark is scattered, or shows more than one, you will be perfectly per-fectly safe in refusing to pay ten cents for a stone that may be offered you at $.j00.
