काकपदमक्षिकाकेशधातुयुक्तानि शर्करैर् विद्धम् । द्विगुणाश्रि दग्ध कलुषत्रस्तविशीर्णानि न शुभानि ॥ ८०-१५ ॥

The faults of the diamond are—lines of the shape of the foot of the crow, a fly or a hare or being mixed with other minerals, or covered with holes like gravel, being with split ends, appearing soiled or with dark spots and being of unsteady light or split or broken. Such diamonds are not fit for use.
