Natural Raw Diamond (Rough)
Natural Raw Diamond (Rough) · Rough / Uncut (Natural Macle or Octahedral Fragment)
N/A (Rough state) Cut
Carat
Estimated 10.0 to 15.0 carats based on visual scale and structure
Color
D-F (Colorless) based on the high transparency and lack of yellow/brown tint
Clarity
VS1 to VS2 (Estimated) - visible internal crystal formations and carbon spots
Shape
Rough / Uncut (Natural Macle or Octahedral Fragment)
Overall Assessment
An exceptional specimen of a high-quality rough diamond crystal, exhibiting excellent clarity and color potential for a master cutter.
Cut Quality
N/A (Rough state)
Brilliance
Low (surface reflection only, lack of refractive facets)
Fire
Minimal (dispersion is limited in rough state)
Scintillation
Low (only occurs on surface crystal planes)
Proportions
Irregular natural formation with visible growth lines and conchoidal fractures
Symmetry
N/A (Natural crystal asymmetry)
Polish
Natural luster (Adamantine)
Fluorescence
None visible under ambient light
Inclusions
Crystalline graining, carbon spots, and internal stress fractures
Blemishes
Surface trigons, natural grooves (growth lines), and jagged edges
Origin
Likely Alluvial (Africa) or Kimberlite pipe source based on surface wear and clarity
Treatment Detection
None detected; appears completely natural and untreated
Estimated Value
$15,000 - $40,000 depending on final yield potential
Certification Estimate
GIA Rough Diamond Inspection Report; likely D/VS quality after cutting
Investment Potential
High, due to the clarity and potential for a high-value polished stone yield
Similar Diamonds
High-clarity rough crystals from the Cullinan or Marange mines
Setting Suggestions
Unique custom rough diamond bypass setting or a heavy prong 'cage' setting in Platinum
Care & Maintenance
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners if stress fractures are present; clean with mild soap and soft brush
