Uncut / Rough Crystalline Form
Overall Assessment
An interesting, natural rough diamond crystal displaying authentic geological formation characteristics, ideal for a specimen collector or custom organic jewelry design.
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Uncut Rough)
Brilliance
Low to moderate due to uncut nature and rough surface texture
Fire
Limited dispersion visible through raw windows
Scintillation
Minimal, as facets are not yet cut and polished to reflect patterned light
Proportions
Natural rough morphology, unproportioned
Symmetry
Natural irregular crystal symmetry
Polish
Unpolished natural crystal faces and fracture planes
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual assessment (typically inert to medium blue in rough stones)
Inclusions
Internal carbon spots, feathers, and cloud-like inclusions typical of rough diamond formation
Blemishes
Natural surface trigons, rough skin, and minor surface pitting from extraction
Origin
Likely alluvial or primary kimberlite pipe deposit, African or Canadian origin
Treatment Detection
No evidence of artificial treatments; completely natural state
Estimated Value
Varies widely based on cutting potential, roughly $100 to $400 USD as a raw specimen
Certification Estimate
GIA (Gemological Institute of America) rough diamond evaluation or local gemological lab
Investment Potential
Collectible value as a specimen piece rather than standard investment diamond
Similar Diamonds
Other alluvial rough diamond crystals of similar size and clarity
Setting Suggestions
Can be set raw in an organic/rustic bezel or wire-wrapped pendant using yellow gold or platinum
Care & Maintenance
Clean with mild soap and warm water; avoid harsh chemicals and store separately to prevent scratching other stones
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds show natural crystal growth features like curved faces and trigons that disappear entirely once cut and polished
