Overall Assessment
An interesting raw blue crystal specimen, likely beryl (aquamarine) or topaz rather than a diamond, requiring professional gemological testing for definitive identification
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Rough, uncut stone)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of standard facet angles and rough surface
Fire
Minimal dispersion due to raw surface state
Scintillation
Poor sparkle until properly cut and faceted
Proportions
Irregular rough dimensions
Symmetry
Asymmetrical natural crystal form
Polish
Natural crystal faces, unpolished
Fluorescence

Inclusions
Internal feather fractures, liquid inclusions, and mineral inclusions visible

Natural surface etching, irregularities, and rough patches
Origin
Natural alluvial or pegmatite deposit origin
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial enhancement; appears completely untreated in rough state
Estimated Value
Low-to-moderate specimen value depending on exact mineral species
Certification Estimate
Requires GIA or local gemological lab identification report to confirm exact mineral species
Investment Potential
Collected mainly as a mineral specimen rather than a traditional financial investment
Similar Diamonds
Comparable to other raw gemstone crystal specimens rather than faceted investment diamonds
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped or custom organic bezel setting to preserve the raw, natural aesthetic
Care & Maintenance
Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and hard impacts that could exploit internal cleavage planes
