Overall Assessment
An interesting specimen of a natural, uncut diamond crystal displaying characteristic rough morphology, best suited for raw gemstone collections or custom organic jewelry rather than standard high-end cutting
Cut Quality
Not applicable (uncut rough stone)
Brilliance
Low (due to rough, unpolished surface)
Fire
Minimal visible fire on raw surfaces
Scintillation
Poor due to lack of faceted geometry
Proportions
Natural rough formation, uneven depth and dimensions
Symmetry
Natural crystal symmetry, distorted octahedron
Polish
Natural crystal faces (trigons and striations present)
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined visually without UV testing
Inclusions
Internal cloudiness, carbon spots, and feather fractures visible
Blemishes
Natural surface pitting, rough skin, and trigons
Origin
Alluvial or primary kimberlite deposit origin
Treatment Detection
No signs of artificial treatment; completely natural rough state
Estimated Value
Varies significantly based on cutting potential, roughly $300 to $800 USD
Certification Estimate
GIA rough report or local gemological laboratory authentication
Investment Potential
Low investment value as gem-grade; primarily of interest to collectors or lapidaries
Similar Diamonds

Setting Suggestions
Raw mineral jewelry setting using a secure wire-wrap or prong basket in yellow or white gold
Care & Maintenance
Store separately to prevent scratching other softer gemstones; clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds retain their geological history, showing natural crystal growth marks like triangular etchings called trigons
