N/A (Uncut) Cut
Carat
8.0 - 15.0 carats (Estimated based on finger scale)
Color
Faint Yellowish / Off-white (Rough appearance)
Clarity
Translucent to Semi-Transparent (Rough grade)
Shape
Rough / Uncut
Overall Assessment
This is a raw, uncut mineral specimen with significant internal fracturing. It lacks the crystal habit of a diamond octahedron, suggesting it is more likely a silicate mineral like quartz or topaz.
Cut Quality
N/A (Uncut)
Brilliance
Low (Diffuse surface reflection)
Fire
Low to Minimal
Scintillation
Low (Visible only at surface edges)
Proportions
Asymmetrical irregular rough
Symmetry
None (Natural asymmetric growth)
Polish
N/A (Natural crystal surface)
Fluorescence
Unknown without UV light
Inclusions
Heavy internal fractures and visible veining
Blemishes
Conchoidal fractures and impact marks typical of raw minerals
Origin
Alluvial or Primary Deposit (Possibility of Quartz/Common Silicate)
Treatment Detection
No visible treatments; appears in natural raw state
Estimated Value
$10 - $100 (If Quartz/Common Mineral); High variable if Diamond
Certification Estimate
GIA Rough Diamond Dossier (if diamond) or Mineral ID Report
Investment Potential
Low for generic rough minerals; dependent on species identification
Similar Diamonds
Uncut Arkansas Quartz or Rough Industrial-Grade Diamonds
Setting Suggestions
Wire wrap, rough stone pendant, or keep as a specimen
Care & Maintenance
Do not expose to high heat; clean with mild soap and soft brush
Interesting Facts
The stone shows conchoidal fracturing, which is common in quartz and glass-like minerals.
