Natural (Rough Crystal)
Natural (Rough Crystal) · Uncut / Rough Crystal
Not Applicable (Rough un-faceted crystal) Cut
Carat
Estimated 1.50 - 2.50 carats based on visual proportions
Color
Near Colorless (Estimated G-H range)
Clarity
Included (I1 - I2)
Shape
Uncut / Rough Crystal
Overall Assessment
An interesting, natural rough diamond crystal displaying characteristic natural surface features, internal fractures, and inclusions, making it more suitable for mineral collections or bespoke organic jewelry than standard commercial grading
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Rough un-faceted crystal)
Brilliance
Low to moderate due to rough surfaces and internal inclusions diffusing light
Fire
Minimal dispersion due to lack of precision facets and polished surfaces
Scintillation
Limited flash effect; light is scattered unevenly across the unpolished crystal facets and internal planes
Proportions
Natural octahedral/elongated crystal habit; no standard table, depth, or pavilion angles
Symmetry
Natural asymmetrical crystal form
Polish
Natural rough surface with some potential etch channels or frosted natural faces
Fluorescence
Cannot be definitively determined without UV testing (Likely None to Faint)
Inclusions
Visible internal feathers, dark mineral inclusions (possibly carbon or iron staining), and internal fracturing
Blemishes
Natural surface pitting, trigons (growth marks), and natural cleavage lines or fractures
Origin
Likely alluvial or primary kimberlite/lamproite deposit origin (Africa, Canada, or Russia)
Treatment Detection
No signs of artificial enhancement; appears completely untreated and natural in rough state
Estimated Value
Modest value as a rough mineral specimen; value depends heavily on potential yield if cut, roughly $100 - $300 USD
Certification Estimate
GIA or similar major gemological lab could issue a rough diamond report verifying natural origin
Investment Potential
Retains collector and novelty value as a raw specimen rather than an investment-grade polished asset
Similar Diamonds
Other un-cut alluvial or mine-run rough diamond crystals of comparable size and clarity
Setting Suggestions
Best preserved as a raw mineral specimen, or securely custom-set in a bezel or organic wire-wrapped pendant using yellow or white gold
Care & Maintenance
Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush; avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners due to existing internal fractures
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds showcase the natural crystal habits formed deep within the Earth's mantle before human cutting and polishing
