Indeterminate (Likely Quartz or Raw Mineral Crystals)
Indeterminate (Likely Quartz or Raw Mineral Crystals) · Rough/Uncut
Not Applicable (Rough) Cut
Carat
Approximately 0.75 - 1.50 carats each (visual estimate)
Color
Likely F-H (Near Colorless) with slight surface tinting
Clarity
Translucent to I3 (Included)
Shape
Rough/Uncut
Overall Assessment
The specimens appear to be raw mineral crystals, most likely quartz or glass shards, lacking the characteristic luster and adamantine surface of high-quality diamond rough. Professional testing (hardness/refractive index) is required for definitive ID.
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Rough)
Brilliance
Low (Matte surface lacks light refraction)
Fire
None visible in rough state
Scintillation
Low (Minimal light reflection from crystal faces)
Proportions
N/A (Irregular crystal formation)
Symmetry
None (Natural asymmetric growth)
Polish
Unpolished (Natural matte/striated surface)
Fluorescence
Unknown/Requires UV light
Inclusions
Heavily included with internal fractures and potential mineral inclusions
Blemishes
Surface pitting and natural growth marks
Origin
Likely alluvial or metamorphic source if natural
Treatment Detection
No visible treatments, appears in natural raw state
Estimated Value
$5 - $50 (If quartz/common mineral), variable if authenticated as diamond rough
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to be graded by GIA/IGI unless high-quality diamond rough
Investment Potential
Low unless verified as gem-quality diamond rough
Similar Diamonds
Uncut diamond rough macles or quartz pebble shards
Setting Suggestions
Wire wrap, bezel setting for rough crystals, or industrial use
Care & Maintenance
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners if fractures are present; clean with soft brush
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds often take the shape of octahedrons or cubes before cutting
