Rough Natural Diamond
Rough Natural Diamond · Rough Crystal / Uncut
Not Applicable (Rough, uncut stone) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.50 to 3.50 carats based on visual proportions
Color
Light brown / yellowish-brown (near-colorless to tinted rough)
Clarity
Included (I1-I3 equivalent in rough form due to internal fractures)
Shape
Rough Crystal / Uncut
Overall Assessment
An interesting specimen of a natural rough diamond displaying characteristic crystal textures, natural fractures, and growth patterns suitable for a custom cut or organic rough jewelry design.
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Rough, uncut stone)
Brilliance
Low to moderate due to rough surfaces and internal fracturing
Fire
Minimal dispersion observed in current rough state
Scintillation
Limited, dependent on cutting and polishing process
Proportions
Natural crystal habit, non-standardized proportions
Symmetry
Natural crystal symmetry, asymmetric rough form
Polish
Natural unpolished crystal face / cleavage surfaces
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined without UV testing (Likely Faint to Medium)
Inclusions
Feathers, fractures, internal graining, and mineral spot inclusions visible
Blemishes
Natural surface etch channels, trigons, and rough skin textures
Origin
Alluvial or primary kimberlite pipe deposit origin
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial enhancement; appears completely untreated rough
Estimated Value
Varies widely based on potential cut yield; rough market value typically lower than polished
Certification Estimate
GIA or AGS would issue a rough diamond report or grade post-cutting
Investment Potential
Dependent on cutter's skill to maximize finished polished yield and clarity
