Not a diamond (Appears to be quartz or glass fragment)
Not a diamond (Appears to be quartz or glass fragment) · Raw, unpolished crystal fragment
Not Applicable (Uncut rough fragment) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.0 - 4.0 carats (based on rough size)
Color
Colorless / Transparent
Clarity
Included / SI2 equivalent due to internal fractures
Shape
Raw, unpolished crystal fragment
Overall Assessment
Based on visual analysis, the specimen shown is an amorphous or crystalline fragment (likely quartz or glass) rather than a genuine diamond, exhibiting typical conchoidal fracture lines rather than octahedral crystal habit or diamond cleavage.
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Uncut rough fragment)
Brilliance
Low to Moderate due to lack of standard facet alignment
Fire
Minimal dispersion visible in current state
Scintillation
Poor due to lack of professional faceting
Proportions
Irregular raw crystal proportions
Symmetry
Not Applicable (Natural/Broken form)
Polish
Raw, unpolished surface with natural conchoidal fractures
Fluorescence
Unknown without UV testing
Inclusions
Multiple internal stress fractures, cleavage planes, and minor mineral inclusions
Blemishes
Surface chips, natural irregularities, and conchoidal fracture marks
Origin
Natural geological origin (likely quartz or similar silicate mineral)
Treatment Detection
No obvious artificial treatments detected; natural wear and fracture visible
Estimated Value
Minimal monetary value (less than $10 as a mineral specimen)
Certification Estimate
Not eligible for standard diamond grading laboratories (GIA/AGS/IGI)
Investment Potential
None as an investment gemstone
Similar Diamonds
None (this specimen is not a diamond)
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrap or organic bezel setting if used for raw crystal jewelry
Care & Maintenance
Standard mineral care; avoid hard impacts as fractured material is prone to breaking further
Interesting Facts
Conchoidal fracture patterns visible on this specimen are characteristic of quartz, glass, and some raw gemstones when they break
