Overall Assessment
An authentic, natural rough diamond crystal displaying characteristic octahedral or elongated habit with natural surface features and inclusions, ideal for mineral collectors or custom organic jewelry design.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (uncut rough stone)
Brilliance
Low due to rough, unpolished state
Fire
Minimal due to lack of standard faceted cuts
Scintillation
Poor, unpolished surfaces do not optimize light return
Proportions
Natural crystal habit, unpolished rough
Symmetry
Natural crystal symmetry, typical of octahedral growth with some distortion
Polish
Natural unpolished crystal faces with trigons or striations
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual inspection
Inclusions
Cloudy internal zones and potential mineral inclusions visible
Blemishes
Natural surface etching, roughness, and adhering matrix minerals
Origin
Likely alluvial or primary kimberlite pipe deposit
Treatment Detection

Estimated Value
Varies widely based on potential yield after cutting, roughly $500 to $2,000 as a rough specimen
Certification Estimate
GIA or specialized gemological institute report for rough diamonds
