Natural
Natural · Round Brilliant (Irregular/Damaged)
Poor due to major asymmetrical damage, chipped girdle, and missing sections Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.0 to 3.0 carats based on visual scale in hand
Color
Estimated G-H color range, displays good whiteness with minor warmth
Clarity
Estimated SI1 to SI2, showing visible internal fractures and structural disruption
Shape
Round Brilliant (Irregular/Damaged)
Overall Assessment
A substantial natural diamond that has suffered catastrophic structural damage and chipping, requiring re-cutting or specialized resetting to salvage its remaining value
Cut Quality
Poor due to major asymmetrical damage, chipped girdle, and missing sections
Brilliance
Compromised white light reflection due to internal fracturing and structural damage
Fire
Dispersed and interrupted fire, concentrated in undamaged pavilion facets
Scintillation
Uneven sparkle with large dark extinction areas caused by internal breaks
Proportions
Distorted proportions due to missing material and breakage on the left side
Symmetry
Poor, significant structural loss and asymmetrical faceting due to damage
Polish
Fair to Poor, rough areas on damaged portions of the girdle and facets
Fluorescence
Cannot be reliably determined without UV testing, likely Faint to Medium
Inclusions
Major internal feathers, fractures, and stress cracks visible throughout the stone
Blemishes
Severe chipping along the girdle, natural raw crystal remnants, and abrasions
Origin
Natural terrestrial diamond, specific mine origin undetermined
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial treatments, appears as untreated natural diamond
Estimated Value
Significantly reduced market value due to structural damage; valued primarily as a broken rough/cut stone
Certification Estimate
GIA or IGI would likely issue a modified report detailing severe structural damage
Investment Potential
Low investment potential in current damaged state; requires professional re-cutting
Similar Diamonds
Comparable to other heavily damaged or re-cuttable large natural diamond fragments
Setting Suggestions
Requires a protective custom bezel setting to secure the damaged and missing sections
Care & Maintenance
Extremely fragile; handle with extreme care to prevent further chipping or fracturing
Interesting Facts
Stones exhibiting this level of structural damage often result from severe impact or internal stress release
