Hi Nicrez,
Just a technical note, but diamonds do remain at room temperature, just like anything else in the room that does not have an internal source of heat, or method of cooling itself. The reason why different materials feel warm or cool to the touch has to do with their thermal conductivity. In other words, if a material is very good a transmitting heat (like metal, for instance) then it will appear cool to the touch since it is pulling heat away from your skin, which is above room temperature. If you touch a poor thermal conductor (like wood), then it will appear to be warm because it isn't very good at taking the heat away from your skin.
That's all!----------------

So without a pot of grease and the stone being loose, it seems to me that there is no easy way to spot a diamond from a fake. Is that right?----------------
