Low (Surface reflection only)
Fire
Weak (Thin-film interference in fractures)
Scintillation
None

Poor (Irregular)
Polish
Poor (Non-existent on raw surfaces)
Fluorescence
None visible
Inclusions
Heavy internal fracturing, step-like cleavage patterns, and debris
Blemishes
Conchoidal fractures, jagged edges, and surface scratches
Origin
Likely industrial glass or natural quartz
Treatment Detection
None detected; appears to be raw waste material
Estimated Value
Negligible market value ($1 - $5)
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to be certified by major labs like GIA as a gemstone
Investment Potential
Zero (Industrial/decorative value only)
Similar Diamonds
None; this material lack the refractive index of diamond
Setting Suggestions
Not suitable for jewelry settings due to sharpness and fragility
Care & Maintenance
Handle with care as edges appear sharp and prone to chipping
Interesting Facts
The scalloped (conchoidal) fracture pattern is a primary indicator that this is glass or silica rather than diamond
