Included / Imperfect (Raw rough state)
Shape
Rough crystal / Uncut natural form
Overall Assessment
An interesting rough crystalline specimen displaying natural geological features and fracture patterns
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Rough crystal)
Brilliance
Low to moderate due to rough, unpolished surface and internal fractures
Fire
Minimal dispersion visible in current rough state
Scintillation
Poor sparkle due to lack of faceted geometry
Proportions
Natural rough morphology, no traditional table or pavilion angles
Symmetry
Asymmetrical natural crystal form
Polish
Raw, unpolished natural crystal surfaces with conchoidal fractures
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined visually without UV testing
Inclusions
Internal fractures, cloudiness, and mineral inclusions visible
Blemishes
Natural surface pitting, striations, and irregular rough textures
Origin
Natural geological formation
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial treatments, appears entirely natural
Estimated Value
Nominal mineral specimen value depending on exact material identity
Certification Estimate
Requires lab testing (GIA or similar) to confirm precise mineral composition
Investment Potential
Low as an investment stone; primarily of interest as a mineral specimen
