Non-Diamond / Likely Glass or Quartz

Non-Diamond / Likely Glass or Quartz · Rough / Uncut (Irregular)

Not Applicable (Rough material) Cut

Non-Diamond / Likely Glass or Quartz - Rough / Uncut (Irregular)

Carat

Unknown (Insufficient scale, appears large)

Color

Colorless with various spectral reflections

Clarity

Low (contains significant internal fractures and bubbles)

Shape

Rough / Uncut (Irregular)

Overall Assessment

This specimen is not a diamond. The visual characteristics, specifically the wavy flow lines and conchoidal fractures, strongly suggest glass or a common mineral like quartz rather than a gemstone.

Cut Quality

Not Applicable (Rough material)

Brilliance

Low (Surface reflection only)

Fire

High (Likely due to prism effect in thick material or glass dispersion)

Scintillation

Poor

Proportions

Not Applicable

Symmetry

None (Amorphous/Irregular)

Polish

None (Natural or fractured surface)

Fluorescence

Indeterminate from image

Inclusions

Conchoidal fractures, flow lines, and air bubbles

Blemishes

Heavy surface scuffing and impact marks

Origin

Likely manufactured glass or common crystal (e.g. Quartz)

Treatment Detection

None detected; appears to be raw waste material

Estimated Value

Minimal / Decorative value only

Certification Estimate

Unlikely to be certified by major diamond labs (GIA, IGI)

Investment Potential

Zero

Similar Diamonds

None; does not resemble gem-quality diamond rough

Setting Suggestions

Wire wrapping or decorative display only

Care & Maintenance

Avoid impact; likely brittle and prone to shattering

Interesting Facts

The curved, shell-like (conchoidal) fractures are a diagnostic feature of glass and quartz, rather than the octahedral cleavage of diamond.
