Possible Diamond?

[bjgiff]

I was metal detecting an 1800's camp area and hit an old metal key of sort. When I dug it I came across several small stones. At the time I thought they was agates. They were a bit soapy looking. I have a pile of odds and ends of finds that I have stashed in the area. Old horse shoe nails, pull tabs etc... and left the rest of the stones there. I kept one with me. As I was driving I noticed that the stone is clear and no visible flaws can be seen with the naked eye.

Below are some pics. Is it worth having a jeweler check it out or is it an obvious agate? It will put a deep scratch into glass without flawing the stone at all. I did read some agates are hard enough to do that too.

*The stone in the pics is about 7/16" at the longest points and about 1/4" wide.

I'm wondering if this works on both cut and rough diamonds.

Because on cut ones I can see why it'd work.
