Anyway back to the topic.
I have to say Shanks diamonds are robust as fuc....
Thats for sure.
During my last cut the chip wrapped around it and pulled that whole thing out bang and the diamond is still fine!
very good

Did you buy it on ebay? Every sapphire that pops up on there is listed as a diamond...

no, it came with my lathe when I bought it.. they never told me it was a diamond, I just assumed because of its coloring.. I just didn't know that sapphires could come in white.. I'm not a jeweler..

Yes they can

Does anyone have advice for identifying what type of stylii you may have?
I know you can get diamond testers, what about sapphire? There must be other ways of checking for these materials.

You can pretty much assume that if you have a clear stylus that it is NOT a diamond.

If it's red, its a ruby, which from what a jeweller friend tells me, both ruby and sapphire and the same . Ruby is a little harder, I guess.

Not sure how to tell the difference between stellite and sapphire, though.
