Natural rough diamond crystal
Natural rough diamond crystal · Rough crystal / Irregular, unpolished form
Not applicable (uncut rough crystal) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.0 to 3.5 carats based on visual proportions
Color
Near-colorless to light brown tint (approx. K-M range)
Clarity
I2-I3 (Heavy inclusions and surface fracturing visible in rough state)
Shape
Rough crystal / Irregular, unpolished form
Overall Assessment
This is a raw, unpolished natural diamond crystal displaying characteristic rough morphology and heavy inclusions. It represents the natural geological state of diamond prior to lapidary processing, making it more suitable for mineral collectors or custom organic jewelry rather than traditional faceted diamond markets.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (uncut rough crystal)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of standard faceting and rough surface texture
Fire
Minimal dispersion observed in the rough state
Scintillation
Limited flash effect primarily from natural crystal facets and fractures
Proportions
Natural rough dimensions, variable depth and table angles not applicable
Symmetry
Natural asymmetric rough formation
Polish
Raw, unpolished natural crystal faces and textures
Fluorescence
Indeterminate without UV testing (likely none to faint)
Inclusions
Significant internal feathers, clouds, and mineral crystal inclusions
Blemishes
Natural surface trigons, cavities, and rough skin textures
Origin
Alluvial or primary kimberlitic deposit (exact mine origin unverified)
Treatment Detection
No signs of artificial enhancement; completely untreated natural rough
Estimated Value
Modest value as an industrial or specimen grade rough diamond; estimated $100 - $300
Certification Estimate
GIA or local gemological laboratories for rough origin verification
Investment Potential
Low investment potential for standard commercial resale; higher value as a unique raw jewelry specimen
Similar Diamonds
Industrial grade rough diamond crystals, mineral specimen collections
Setting Suggestions
Raw mineral organic setting, bezel setting in yellow or rose gold to highlight its natural state
Care & Maintenance
Clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush; avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners due to internal fracturing
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds showcase the natural crystal habits formed deep within the Earth's mantle before human cutting and polishing
