Supposed to be able to tell if a diamond is real by putting on a line on paper or small lettering. They say if it is blurred it is a real diamond.I never know if you put it on it's top flat side or on it's side where its cut.

No this is far from an accurate way to be able to tell a genuine from a fake. The only real way to tell if the stone is indeed a real diamond is to take it to a trusted jeweler. Jewelers loupes are fairly good in telling the really cheap stuff like cubic zirconia from a real diamond, but with all the new synthetic stuff around it actually needs to be analyized by more accurate equipment that will be available at most reputable jewelry stores.

If you want the best "fake", def go with the moisonite.
