Christine, 

    in MA, you should have NO trouble finding a gemologist.  Any retail
    jeweler who is a member of American Gem Society (AGS,) (as well as
    many other jewelers,) should be able to test the stones for you. 

    In addition, most pawnshops will have a small electronic device on
    hand which will quickly identify any diamond substitute.
