Rough natural crystal (likely quartz or low-grade diamond crystal)
Rough natural crystal (likely quartz or low-grade diamond crystal) · Rough uncut crystal (elongated, irregular)
Uncut / Rough (Not applicable) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.0 - 3.5 carats based on visual scale
Color
Near-colorless to off-white / milky white
Clarity
Included / I3 (opaque to translucent with numerous internal inclusions and fractures)
Shape
Rough uncut crystal (elongated, irregular)
Overall Assessment
An interesting raw mineral or rough crystal specimen showcasing natural geological formations, lacking gemstone-grade transparency or cutting potential.
Cut Quality
Uncut / Rough (Not applicable)
Brilliance
Low to none due to lack of facets and opacity
Fire
None due to lack of facet dispersion and rough surface
Scintillation
None
Proportions
Natural crystal habit with irregular dimensions
Symmetry
Natural asymmetric crystal growth
Polish
Raw, unpolished surface texture
Fluorescence
Cannot be definitively determined without UV testing (likely none to faint)
Inclusions
Heavy internal clouding, feather fractures, and mineral inclusions visible
Blemishes
Natural surface roughness, pits, and striations characteristic of rough crystals
Origin
Natural rough mineral deposit
Treatment Detection
No signs of artificial treatment; appears completely untreated in its natural state
Estimated Value
Nominal value as a raw mineral specimen ($5 - $25 depending on exact mineral composition)
Certification Estimate
Uncertified rough mineral specimen; major labs like GIA do not typically grade rough specimens of this type for retail
Investment Potential
Very low; decorative or educational mineral specimen only
Similar Diamonds
Comparable to industrial-grade rough diamond crystal or milky quartz rough
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped pendant setting or raw organic jewelry mountings
Care & Maintenance
Standard gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush; protect from hard impacts
Interesting Facts
Rough crystals retain their natural geological form straight from the earth before human cutting and polishing
