Natural rough mineral aggregate, potentially a cluster of diamond crystals or quartz/silicate matrix, but visually appears to be a raw crystalline formation · Rough crystal / Raw aggregate
Uncut / Raw (Not applicable for standard cut grades) Cut
Carat
Estimated aggregate weight around 5.0 to 10.0 carats based on visual scale
Color
Near-colorless to light brown / yellowish tint
Clarity
I3 (Heavy inclusions and fractures visible in raw state)
Shape
Rough crystal / Raw aggregate
Overall Assessment
This specimen represents a fascinating raw crystalline cluster, valuable primarily for mineralogical study or unique organic jewelry design rather than traditional faceted diamond markets.
Cut Quality
Uncut / Raw (Not applicable for standard cut grades)
Brilliance
Low to moderate due to raw, unpolished surfaces and heavy internal fracturing
Fire
Minimal dispersion visible through raw crystalline faces
Scintillation
Poor sparkle; light is scattered irregularly across rough facets
Proportions
Not applicable to raw unfaceted crystal aggregates
Symmetry
Asymmetrical raw crystal formation
Polish
Unpolished natural crystal faces
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined visually without UV testing
Inclusions
Heavy internal fracturing, crystal inclusions, and mineral stains
Blemishes
Natural surface irregularities, rough skin, pitting, and etching
Origin
Natural rough deposit (primary or secondary alluvial source)
Treatment Detection
No visible signs of artificial treatments; appears completely untreated and natural
Estimated Value
Nominal value as a mineral specimen; low gem-grade value due to heavy inclusions
Certification Estimate
GIA or local gemological lab for rough stone verification
Investment Potential
Collector specimen value only; not suitable for liquid diamond investment

Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped or organic bezel setting to preserve the raw, natural aesthetic
Care & Maintenance
Store separately to avoid scratching other gems; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
Raw crystals showcase the natural octahedral or dodecahedral growth habits of minerals before human intervention
