Included (I1-I2 equivalent due to fractures and inclusions)
Shape
Uncut / Raw Irregular Fragment
Overall Assessment
An interesting, natural, uncut rough diamond fragment displaying characteristic conchoidal fractures and raw crystal texture, highly suitable for organic jewelry designs or mineral collections
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Uncut Rough)
Brilliance
Low to Moderate due to rough, unpolished state and internal fractures
Fire
Present along dispersion edges, though obscured by rough surface features
Scintillation
Limited, reflecting light off natural crystal faces rather than precision-cut facets
Proportions
Not Applicable for Rough Stone
Symmetry
Natural Asymmetric Formation
Polish
Raw Natural Surface with Conchoidal Fracture Lines
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined without UV testing (Likely None to Faint)
Inclusions
Internal feather fractures, included crystals, and potential cloud formations visible
Blemishes
Natural surface etch channels, trigons, and rough cleavage planes
Origin
Alluvial or primary kimberlite deposit origin
Treatment Detection
No treatments detected; completely untreated natural rough specimen
Estimated Value
Varies widely based on yield potential if cut, roughly $500 - $1,500 for mineral specimen or raw jewelry use
Certification Estimate
GIA or IGI would classify this as an Uncut Rough Diamond with natural characteristics
Investment Potential
Valued more as a unique mineral specimen or raw jewelry piece rather than a traditional investment-grade polished diamond
Similar Diamonds

Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped, organic raw pendant setting, or custom bezel mounting designed specifically for raw uncut minerals in yellow gold or platinum
Care & Maintenance
Avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners due to internal natural fractures; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds display natural growth marks such as triangular etch pits called trigons and stepped growth layers formed deep within the Earth's mantle
