What would you do?

What do you do with something this valuable? Who do you go see? I don’t seem to be taken serious through email correspondence. If someone could kindly point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance

You already posted this on RT. You think it's a blue diamond. It's not.

You could use it as a paperweight.

You could ask visitors to guess what it was. I'll bet that not many would guess that it's a blue diamond, because it's not. It doesn't even look like one.

lol its been hot before.
Look at the once molten flow patterns and the gas bubble holes.
That and google is enough of a clue to find out what it most likely could be.

To spell out what I think Karl_K was hinting, this is most likely glassy slag, almost worthless, but with an interesting story:

Hopefully someone with a degree in a related field will comment next. I’m not upset I understand most people never have or will see a blue diamond in the rough in their lives. If a diamond has the hardness and sg they say it has, this is a diamond. Unless you have some explanation for that? Bad scale? Not actually corrundum? Take care, won’t be going back and forth

And I also guess slag can be covered head toe in Trigons to right, even ones you can barely see without assistance.

If you came here for folks to blindly agree with you, this isn't the right place. Knowledgeable people have told you it's not diamond (here and apparently via email). There's a reason for that.

I think it is a petrified caveman dropping, meaning it ain't worth, Sh...I know, I'm Fred Flintstone!!!

OK, here you go...

If you truly believe you are right and this item is a blue diamond, then please take it to a geological museum for testing, or auction houses that offer free evaluation sessions and see what they say.

That is if you do not believe the members of this board are sufficiently knowledgeable to know your item is not a blue diamond as you so claimed.
