Natural rough mineral crystal (likely quartz or beryl rather than gem-quality diamond)
Natural rough mineral crystal (likely quartz or beryl rather than gem-quality diamond) · Uncut raw crystal fragment with natural faces
Uncut / Rough (Not applicable) Cut
Carat
Estimated approximately 2.5 to 3.5 carats based on visual scale against fingers
Color
Near colorless to very light yellow tint
Clarity
Included (I2-I3)
Shape
Uncut raw crystal fragment with natural faces
Overall Assessment
This appears to be a raw, unpolished natural mineral crystal rather than a cut diamond, displaying characteristic natural facets, surface textures, and internal fractures.
Cut Quality
Uncut / Rough (Not applicable)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of faceting and surface opacity
Fire
Minimal to none due to lack of precision cuts
Scintillation
Poor, as light passes through irregularly without internal reflection optimization
Proportions
Natural crystal habit, no traditional proportions present
Symmetry
Natural crystal symmetry showing typical growth lines and elongation
Polish
Raw, unpolished natural surface texture
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined without UV testing, likely inert
Inclusions
Multiple internal fractures, cloudiness, and mineral inclusions visible
Blemishes
Natural surface etching, rough edges, and potential matrix remnants
Origin
Natural terrestrial rough crystal
Treatment Detection
No treatments detected; completely natural and unaltered
Estimated Value
Minimal commercial value as a gemstone; primarily of mineralogical or specimen interest
Certification Estimate
Typically not certified by major labs (GIA/AGS) in raw, unpolished form unless for specific provenance studies
Investment Potential
Low investment potential for resale, better suited for mineral collectors
Similar Diamonds
Rough industrial-grade diamond crystals or translucent quartz/beryl crystals
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped pendant or organic bezel setting to preserve the raw crystal appearance
Care & Maintenance
Store separately to avoid scratching softer materials; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
Raw crystals display the natural atomic structure and growth history of the mineral before human intervention
