This is not a diamond.
Can you believe this crystal contains gallium?
Yes, this is a garnet crystal of gadolinium gallium, commonly called GGG, with the chemical formula Gd3Ga5O12. GGG crystals are typically grown using the Czochralski method, producing large, high-quality single crystals like the one shown below.
