Overall Assessment
An interesting raw, natural diamond crystal showcasing genuine geological formation features, ideal for custom artisan cutting or as a mineral specimen.
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Uncut Rough)
Brilliance
Low in rough form; light transmission is diffused due to uneven exterior surfaces
Fire
Minimal dispersion visible in current rough state
Scintillation
Absent prior to faceting and polishing
Proportions
Not Applicable for rough crystals; elongated tabular rough formation
Symmetry
Natural irregular crystal symmetry, showing typical octahedral growth lines
Polish
Natural rough surface texture with trigons and growth steps, unpolished
Fluorescence
Cannot be definitively determined without UV testing, likely None to Faint
Inclusions
Visible internal feathers, cloudiness, and crystal inclusions
Blemishes
Natural surface pitting, rough skin, and irregular natural cleavage planes
Origin
Alluvial or primary pipe deposit natural rough diamond
