Overall Assessment
An interesting and authentic natural rough diamond specimen with matrix staining, best appreciated in its raw geological form rather than for jewelry cutting.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Rough, unpolished crystal)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of faceting and surface contamination
Fire
Minimal dispersion visible through raw windows
Scintillation
Poor due to unpolished surfaces and opaque impurities
Proportions
Uncut rough stone; table, depth, and angles do not apply
Symmetry
Natural crystal symmetry, distorted octahedral/macdle habit
Polish
Raw crystal faces (natural octahdral/dodecahedral growth lines)
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined without UV testing
Inclusions
Visible dark mineral inclusions, possibly iron oxide staining along fractures
Blemishes
Natural surface etching, rough skin, and dirt/matrix residue
Origin
Alluvial or primary kimberlite deposit origin (rough unwashed appearance)
Treatment Detection
No treatments detected; completely natural raw state
Estimated Value
Low-to-moderate rough mineral value ($100 - $300 USD as a specimen)
Certification Estimate
GIA or AGS if cut, but currently uncertified rough
Investment Potential
Collector mineral value only; low liquidity for cut diamond investment
