Not a diamond; tentatively identified as blue slag glass or industrial waste containing metallic inclusions.
Not a diamond; tentatively identified as blue slag glass or industrial waste containing metallic inclusions. · Rough, irregular, and fractured (un-cut).
N/A (Rough/Raw material). Cut
Carat
Estimated 5-15 carats based on visual scale against rough background.
Color
Deep cobalt blue/electric blue (Non-standard for white diamonds).
Clarity
Translucent to opaque; heavily included/fractured.
Shape
Rough, irregular, and fractured (un-cut).
Overall Assessment
This specimen is a piece of rough industrial glass or slag. It lacks the crystalline structure, refractive index, and durability of a diamond.
Cut Quality
N/A (Rough/Raw material).
Brilliance
Extremely low; surface reflection only.
Fire
None detected; lack of crystal structure prevents dispersion.
Scintillation
Zero; the material does not interact with light like a gemstone.
Proportions
N/A (Irregular mass).
Symmetry
N/A (Irregular amorphous solid).
Polish
N/A (Natural conchoidal fracture finish).
Fluorescence
Likely induced by external UV source, appearing as bright blue/white highlights on the surface.
Inclusions
Bubbles, flow lines, and metallic flecks characteristic of man-made glass production.
Blemishes
Severe surface fractures, chipping, and conchoidal scars.
Origin
Industrial byproduct (Slag) or cullet glass.
Treatment Detection
N/A (Man-made material inherently).
Estimated Value
$0 - $5 (Nominal value as a curiosity or specimen).
Certification Estimate
N/A; most grading labs would issue a 'Not a Diamond' or 'Man-made material' report.
Investment Potential
None.
Similar Diamonds
None; this does not resemble natural blue diamonds which have a different saturation and structure.
Setting Suggestions
Wire wrapping for decorative purposes only; not suitable for fine jewelry.
Care & Maintenance
Fragile material; avoid high heat and physical impact which may cause shattering.
Interesting Facts
Blue glass often contains cobalt or copper to achieve this intense hue, which is rarely seen in natural stones.
