Natural Rough Diamond
Natural Rough Diamond · Rough / Uncut (Natural Macle/Octahedral fragment)
N/A (Uncut rough specimen) Cut
Carat
Approximately 2.0 to 4.0 carats (estimated visually to its scale)
Color
I-J (Near Colorless with slight warm undertones visible in internal reflections)
Clarity
SI2-I1 (Visible internal twinning wisps, crystals, and potential feathers)
Shape
Rough / Uncut (Natural Macle/Octahedral fragment)
Overall Assessment
A genuine natural rough diamond specimen with interesting internal characteristics, suitable for a unique artisanal jewelry piece or for professional cutting.
Cut Quality
N/A (Uncut rough specimen)
Brilliance
Low (Surface reflections only, lacks faceted internal light return)
Fire
N/A (Lacks faceted geometry to disperse light into spectral colors)
Scintillation
Low (Limited to surface luster)
Proportions
Asymmetrical rough crystal shape with natural trigons and growth planes
Symmetry
Poor (Natural crystalline structure)
Polish
N/A (Natural skin texture)
Fluorescence
None to Faint Blue
Inclusions
Visible twinning wisps, pinpoint clusters, and internal cleavage planes
Blemishes
Natural skin textures, pits, and trigons characteristic of rough stones
Origin
Likely African (e.g., Botswana or DRC) based on morphology
Treatment Detection
None detected; appears as natural rough
Estimated Value
$1,500 - $3,500 (depending on yield and final faceted clarity)
Certification Estimate
GIA Rough Diamond Report; likely G-I color range and SI clarity once faceted
Investment Potential
Moderate; value is primarily in the potential faceted yield for a manufacturer
Similar Diamonds
Uncut salt-and-pepper diamonds or organic Macle crystals
Setting Suggestions
Rough diamond tension setting or a custom organic-style 'claw' pendant to showcase natural form
Care & Maintenance
Ultrasonic cleaners should be used with caution due to visible internal planes; handle with care to avoid cleavage
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds often have 'trigons,' which are microscopic triangular pits on the surface from the growth process
