Non-diamond (Glass shard or rough Quartz)
Non-diamond (Glass shard or rough Quartz) · Rough / Uncut (Amorphous shard)
None (Rough/Broken) Cut
Carat
Estimated 5.0 - 10.0 carats (based on finger scale)
Color
Colorless to Near-Colorless (appears translucent)
Clarity
Included (I-grade equivalent due to large fractures)
Shape
Rough / Uncut (Amorphous shard)
Overall Assessment
This specimen is an irregular, sharp-edged shard of a translucent material, most likely glass or quartz. It lacks the crystalline structure, refractive index, and luster associated with natural or lab-grown diamonds.
Cut Quality
None (Rough/Broken)
Brilliance
Low (Surface reflection only, no internal refraction)
Fire
None visible
Scintillation
Low (No specific facet pattern)
Proportions
N/A (Non-geometric structure)
Symmetry
Poor (Asymmetrical/Irregular)
Polish
Poor (Natural dull/fractured surface)
Fluorescence
Unknown from static image
Inclusions
Conchoidal fractures, internal cleavage lines, and visible internal cracks
Blemishes
Surface pitting, sharp jagged edges, and chips
Origin
Likely post-consumer waste (Glass) or common mineral source
Treatment Detection
None detected; appears to be raw waste material
Estimated Value
Negligible market value ($0 - $5)
Certification Estimate
Likely ineligible for diamond grading (Identification as glass/quartz)
Investment Potential
Zero (Industrial waste or common mineral)
Similar Diamonds
None; resembles industrial glass cullet or quartz fragments
Setting Suggestions
Not suitable for traditional jewelry settings; display only
Care & Maintenance
Handle with caution; sharp edges may cause injury. Do not heat.
Interesting Facts
The characteristic conchoidal fracture (curved glass-like break) is a primary indicator it is not a diamond.
