Crossword Genius

Card showing precious stone (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diamond

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'card' is the first definition.
(I know that diamond is a type of playing card)

'precious stone' is the second definition.
(I know that diamond is a type of precious stone)

'showing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for diamond that I've seen before include "shape" , "rock hard" , "Very hard substance" , "One of her best friends" , "Gemstone - baseball field" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
