Not applicable (Rough, unpolished stone) Cut
Carat
Estimated 1.5 to 2.5 carats based on relative finger scale
Color
Near-colorless to faint tint (approx. G-I range)
Clarity
Included (I1-I3 range due to visible natural flaws and fractures)
Shape
Rough crystal / Uncut natural form
Overall Assessment
An interesting, natural rough diamond crystal displaying authentic geological formation characteristics, ideal for custom cutting studies or as a raw mineral collector piece.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Rough, unpolished stone)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of faceted geometry and presence of surface/internal obstructions
Fire
Minimal in current rough state
Scintillation
Limited flash effect primarily from natural crystal windows
Proportions
Natural uncut proportions with octahedral/macdle tendencies
Symmetry
Natural asymmetrical crystal growth
Polish
Raw natural crystal faces, untreated
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual assessment alone
Inclusions
Visible internal fracture planes, inclusions, and crystal imperfections
Blemishes
Natural surface etch channels, trigons, and rough skin textures
Origin
Likely alluvial or primary kimberlite/lamproite deposit origin
Treatment Detection
No treatments detected; completely natural raw crystal
Estimated Value
Varies widely depending on cutter yield assessment, typically lower as a rough specimen unless preserved as a mineral specimen
Certification Estimate
GIA or similar major lab would issue a rough stone report
Investment Potential
Holds novelty and mineral collector value; speculative until cut and polished
