Uncut/Rough

Brilliance

Very Low (Lacks faceted light return)

Fire

None (Spectral dispersion is absent)

Scintillation

None

Non-geometric (Natural form)

Symmetry

Asymmetrical

Polish

Natural/Matte Surface

Fluorescence

Likely None or Inert

Inclusions

Heavy internal fractures, veining, and cloudiness typical of non-diamond minerals

Blemishes

Natural surface pitting and uneven texture

Estimated Value

$5 - $20 (Low commercial value)

Certification Estimate

N/A (Would not be accepted for diamond grading at GIA/AGS)

Investment Potential

No investment value; purely decorative or educational

Similar Diamonds

None (This specimen lacks the optical properties of diamond)

Setting Suggestions

Wire wrapping or custom organic bezel setting
