Overall Assessment
This is an authentic, untreated natural rough diamond crystal displaying characteristic octahedral or irregular growth features. While it contains visible internal inclusions and fractures, it possesses character ideal for rustic or raw-stone jewelry designs or potential re-cutting for weight retention.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Rough crystal)
Brilliance
Low to moderate due to rough surface and internal inclusions
Fire
Minimal due to lack of faceted geometry
Scintillation
Poor, lacking standard facet reflections
Proportions
Natural asymmetrical rough proportions
Symmetry
Natural irregular crystal symmetry
Polish
Natural unpolished surface with crystal faces
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual inspection
Inclusions
Visible internal feathers, carbon spots, and internal fracturing
Blemishes
Natural surface trigons, pitting, and irregular growth lines

Treatment Detection
No signs of enhancement; completely untreated natural rough
Estimated Value
Varies significantly based on cutting potential, roughly $300 - $600 USD as rough
Certification Estimate
GIA or similar major lab could issue an authenticity and weight report, but standard grading is for polished stones
Investment Potential
Low as a standalone piece unless expertly cut to maximize yield and grade
