So my folks were cleaning out some of my old stuff from their house and they gave me an old shoebox. Inside was a bunch of rocks I collected as a kid.
One caught my eye so I did a specific gravity test and low and behold it was 3.5357. I know that specific gravity doesn't tell the whole story. So I take this stone to a gemologist or jewelry store and get it checked out. Thing weighed in at 2.97 grams. So needless to say, it probably isn't a diamond but if it is..... VEGAS BABY...
