Overall Assessment
This is an unworked, natural diamond rough fragment displaying authentic geological surface features and natural inclusions, holding more interest as a raw mineral specimen than a polished gemstone.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (uncut rough specimen)
Brilliance
Limited due to raw state and uneven surfaces
Fire
Minimal due to unfaceted surface geometry
Scintillation
Low, intermittent flashes from natural crystalline planes
Proportions
Non-standard rough geometry
Symmetry
Natural asymmetrical crystal growth
Polish
Raw, unpolished surface showing natural crystal striations and trigons
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual assessment alone
Inclusions
Internal feather fractures, cloud formations, and mineral inclusions visible
Blemishes
Natural surface etching, trigons, and rough growth lines
Origin
Natural primary or secondary alluvial deposit
Treatment Detection
No evidence of artificial treatments; entirely natural state
Estimated Value
Minimal commercial value as a faceted gemstone due to heavy inclusion; primarily of mineralogical or specimen value
Certification Estimate
Gemological laboratories would grade as rough specimen; formal cut diamond certification not applicable
Investment Potential
Low investment potential for resale; primarily collectible as a mineral specimen
Similar Diamonds
Other alluvial rough diamond fragments and industrial-grade uncut stones
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped or organic bezel setting to preserve the raw, natural aesthetic
Care & Maintenance
Handle with care to prevent chipping along cleavage planes; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
