Overall Assessment
An interesting, natural rough diamond crystal fragment displaying organic characteristics and fracture planes. Ideal for custom jewelry featuring raw minerals or for a skilled cutter to plan a polished gem.
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Rough, unpolished crystal fragment)
Brilliance
Limited due to rough and untreated surface texture
Fire
Minimal dispersion due to lack of standard facet angles
Scintillation
Low, reflecting light primarily off natural cleavage or fracture planes
Proportions
Not Applicable for rough diamond
Symmetry
Natural asymmetric crystal growth
Polish
Unpolished natural crystal faces and fracture planes
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined visually without UV testing (Likely None to Faint)
Inclusions
Internal clouds, pinpoint crystals, and potential feather fractures visible
Blemishes
Natural surface etchings, trigons (possibly), and irregular broken edges
Origin
Natural alluvial or primary kimberlite pipe origin (exact location requires spectroscopic testing)
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial treatments (completely untreated natural rough)
Estimated Value
Varies significantly upon cutting and polishing yield; raw specimen estimated low-to-moderate value
Certification Estimate
GIA or IGI (would require professional rough grading report)
Investment Potential
Speculative, as value depends entirely on the cut potential and final polished grade

Setting Suggestions
Can be set raw in an organic, rustic, or custom designer bezel setting to showcase its natural crystal form
Care & Maintenance
Store separately to prevent scratching other stones; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds retain their geological history, showing natural crystal growth lines and growth features formed deep within the Earth's mantle.
