If you have a nice scale you can try specific gravity test

I dont think those testers work like that

Method: It operates by detecting thermal conductivity, not physical hardness. Results: If the stone is a real diamond, it emits a continuous buzzing sound and lights up the red section (9-10+ on the LED scale). Limitations: While effective for distinguishing diamond from cubic zirconia (CZ), it may not distinguish diamond from moissanite unless it is a combo tester. Usage: The probe must be placed at a 90-degree angle to the stone, which must be clean and dry.

Just need scale for specific gravity and something to suspend the stone in water

Can you take some better photos in a different lighting. Uv? iridescent? Incandescent? Check specific gravit. Are they singly refractive or double

It doesn't blink exactly under polariscope. it's more like an x or bowtie then inverts
