Overall Assessment

The specimen shown in the image is not a diamond. Based on the irregular shape, surface striations, and structural appearance, it is likely a fragment of weathered glass, bottle neck, or common quartz crystal rather than a precious gemstone.

Cut Quality

Poor / Uncut fragment

Brilliance

Low due to surface wear and non-diamond refractive index

Fire

Very low dispersion compared to diamond

Scintillation

Minimal, limited to light reflection off worn facets or fractures

Proportions

Non-standard irregular fragment

Symmetry

Poor / Asymmetrical shard

Polish

Poor / Rough, weathered, and scratched surface

Fluorescence

Unknown without UV testing

Inclusions

Internal stress fractures, bubbles typical of glass, or mineral inclusions

Blemishes

Numerous surface scratches, chips, and abrasion marks

Origin

Terrestrial anthropogenic (glass) or natural quartz shard

Treatment Detection

N/A

Estimated Value

Nominal / Zero commercial jewelry value

Certification Estimate

None (not a gemstone subject to grading by GIA, AGS, or IGI)

None

Similar Diamonds

None, as this is visually identified as glass or non-diamond material

Setting Suggestions

Not suitable for jewelry setting in its current state

Care & Maintenance

Handle with care to avoid cuts from sharp broken edges
