Shape
Uncut, raw crystal shapes (octahedral, macle, and irregular crystal fragments)
Overall Assessment
A charming and unique strand of natural brown rough diamond crystals, highly favored in modern artisanal and organic jewelry design for their raw, earthy elegance
Cut Quality
Not applicable (rough, unpolished mineral specimens)
Brilliance
Low to moderate due to rough, unpolished surfaces absorbing and scattering light rather than internal refraction
Fire
Minimal due to absence of precision-cut facets
Scintillation
Limited, reflecting light off raw crystal faces rather than structured facets
Proportions
Natural uncut proportions with irregular depth and table equivalents
Symmetry
Natural crystal symmetry (organic, non-faceted growth forms)
Polish
Unpolished natural crystal faces (some may show natural trigons)
Fluorescence
Variable (typically inert to medium blue under UV light for natural brown rough)
Inclusions
Abundant natural mineral inclusions, feathers, and pinpoint clouds characteristic of rough stones
Blemishes
Natural surface textures, growth lines, and occasional chips from extraction
Origin
Likely alluvial or primary pipe deposits from African, Australian, or Canadian mines
Treatment Detection
No treatments detected; completely untreated natural rough diamonds
Estimated Value
Moderate market value, typically valued per carat for raw jewelry design or industrial collector specimens
Certification Estimate
Typically sold without individual grading reports; bulk gemological certificates or origin certificates from labs like GIA or IGI upon special request
Investment Potential
Niche market value; prized more for aesthetic and artisanal jewelry use rather than traditional diamond investment
Similar Diamonds

Setting Suggestions
Best suited for organic, rustic, or bohemian jewelry designs, such as bezel settings, wire-wrapping, or protective prong settings in yellow gold or platinum
Care & Maintenance
Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush; avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners due to potential natural fractures in raw stones
