Natural Fancy Green Diamond (or potentially Green Tourmaline/Emerald depending on exact mineral tests, assuming Diamond context)
Natural Fancy Green Diamond (or potentially Green Tourmaline/Emerald depending on exact mineral tests, assuming Diamond context) · Rough crystal / Uncut elongated crystal form
Not Applicable (Rough Crystal) Cut
Carat
Estimated 3.5 - 5.0 carats based on rough dimensions
Color
Fancy Intense Green
Clarity
SI2 (Visible internal fractures and inclusions)
Shape
Rough crystal / Uncut elongated crystal form
Overall Assessment
An intriguing and potentially highly valuable natural green rough crystal that requires formal laboratory testing (such as FTIR and spectroscopy) to confirm its diamond identity and natural color origin.
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Rough Crystal)
Brilliance
Low to Moderate due to rough, unpolished state
Fire
Subdued due to rough surface and heavy coloration
Scintillation
Minimal in current rough form
Proportions
Natural elongated crystal habit with striated prism faces
Symmetry
Asymmetrical Natural Crystal Growth
Polish
Unpolished Rough Surface with Natural Striations
Fluorescence
Likely Medium to Strong Yellow or Green
Inclusions
Feathers, internal graining, and mineral inclusions typical of rough stones
Blemishes
Surface abrasions, natural growth lines, and rough patches
Origin
Natural subterranean origin, likely associated with radioactive strata causing natural green coloration.
Treatment Detection
Advanced spectroscopic testing required to distinguish natural radiation-induced green color from artificial laboratory irradiation.
Estimated Value
Highly variable; natural green diamonds of this intensity are extremely rare and valuable, potentially tens of thousands of dollars if certified natural radiation origin.
Certification Estimate
GIA (Gemological Institute of America) - Natural Fancy Color Origin Report
Investment Potential
Exceptionally high due to extreme rarity of natural fancy green diamonds, provided color origin is certified as natural.
Similar Diamonds
Other rare colored rough diamonds such as the Dresden Green or similar natural green rough specimens.
Setting Suggestions
Custom bespoke pendant or statement ring utilizing a protective bezel setting to preserve the rough crystal aesthetics.
Care & Maintenance
Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and physical impacts that could exploit internal natural fractures.
Interesting Facts
Most green diamonds get their color from natural radiation in the earth over millions of years, which knocks carbon atoms out of their normal positions.
