You can also check the authenticity of a black diamond using any light surface that has a rough structure. You need to attach a stone to it, lightly press it down and draw it over the surface. If after that a dark red trace remains on the surface, then the mineral is real. Otherwise, you have a fake in your hands.

Therefore, it makes no sense to overpay, given that the price difference is quite large.
