if your diamond is real or not?

Here's one way to determine if your diamond is real or not: put it in an oven set at 850 degrees farenheit, wait an hour, if it's not there anymore then it was real. Diamonds dissipate when exposed to higher temperatures for an extended amount of time....cubic zirconium doesn't.

Adolph Hitler kept a framed photograph of Henry Ford on his desk and Ford kept one of Hitler on his desk in Dearborn, Michigan. Hitler had used in 'Mein Kampf' some of Fords anti-semitic views, and he always welcomed Ford's contributions to the Nazi movement.

Maggots were once used to treat osteomyelitis, a serious bone infection. During the U.S. Civil War, it was discovered accidentally that the larvae (maggots) of the blowfly helped heal open wounds by eating away the dead tissue and also be secreting healing substances. The osteomyelitis treatment used laboratory-grown sterile maggots. This method of treatment was discontinued only because analysis proved that urea excreted by the maggots was responsible for the healing process, and the urea could be synthesized inexpensively.
