Natural diamond crystal or rough industrial-grade diamond, highly fractured with included mineral matter.
Natural diamond crystal or rough industrial-grade diamond, highly fractured with included mineral matter. · Uncut or heavily fractured rough stone with irregular geometry.
Not applicable (rough, unpolished stone). Cut
Carat
Estimated between 5.0 to 10.0 carats based on visual scale and density.
Color
Off-white to grayish-brown tint, difficult to precisely grade on D-Z scale due to rough state and heavy inclusions.
Clarity
I3 (Included 3), heavily fractured with extensive internal inclusions and feathers.
Shape
Uncut or heavily fractured rough stone with irregular geometry.
Overall Assessment
This specimen is a raw, heavily flawed, industrial-grade diamond or diamond rough with significant internal stress fractures and inclusions, lacking the clarity and structure required for gem-quality jewelry.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (rough, unpolished stone).
Brilliance
Very low due to opacity, heavy fracturing, and lack of standard faceting.
Fire
Minimal dispersion observed due to internal light scattering from fractures.
Scintillation
Poor, lacking defined sparkle patterns typical of faceted gems.
Proportions
N/A for rough stones; no standard table, depth, or angles.
Symmetry
Poor/Irregular due to natural rough formation and fracture patterns.
Polish
Raw, unpolished surface showing natural crystal faces and cleavage planes.
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual inspection alone; requires UV testing.
Inclusions
Massive feather fractures, carbon spots, internal cloudiness, and dark mineral inclusions.
Blemishes
Natural indentations, rough surface graining, and fractures breaking the surface.
Origin
Likely alluvial or primary kimberlite pipe deposit, undetermined exact country of origin.
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial enhancement; appears completely untreated and natural.
Estimated Value
Low market value, primarily valued for industrial use or mineral specimen collection ($50 - $200 USD).
Certification Estimate
Industrial evaluation or uncertifiable gem-quality; laboratories like GIA or IGI would classify this as industrial grade or reject for standard diamond grading reports.
Investment Potential
Negligible as a financial investment; strictly of interest to mineral collectors or industrial buyers.
Similar Diamonds
Other industrial-grade boart or heavily fractured rough diamond specimens.
Setting Suggestions
Not recommended for fine jewelry due to structural fragility; suitable only for specialized mineral specimen display or industrial applications.
Care & Maintenance
Handle with extreme care to prevent further breakage along natural cleavage planes and fracture lines; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
Interesting Facts
Most mined diamonds (roughly 80%) are of industrial grade rather than gem quality, used extensively in cutting, grinding, and drilling tools.
