Overall Assessment
An interesting, unpolished natural diamond crystal showing characteristic growth lines and internal features, primarily suited for specimen collection or specialized raw-stone jewelry.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Rough, uncut stone)
Brilliance
Low due to rough, unpolished state and internal fractures
Fire
Minimal visible fire in current rough state
Scintillation
Poor due to lack of faceted surfaces
Proportions
Natural rough proportions, deep and irregular
Symmetry
Natural octahedral crystallization symmetry
Polish
Natural crystal faces (trigons and striations visible)
Fluorescence
Cannot be definitively determined without UV testing (Likely None to Faint)
Inclusions
Visible internal feathers, fractures, and crystal inclusions
Blemishes
Natural surface pitting, rough skin, and growth lines
Origin
Natural primary alluvial or kimberlite deposit
Treatment Detection
No signs of artificial treatment; completely untreated natural rough
Estimated Value
$500 - $1,500 depending on cutting yield and internal purity
Certification Estimate
GIA or IGI would evaluate as a rough diamond specimen
Investment Potential
Moderate as a collector specimen, but low for commercial resale if cut quality is low
Similar Diamonds
Typical industrial or lower-gem quality run-of-mine rough diamonds
Setting Suggestions
Can be set in a custom organic wire-wrap or raw bezel setting without cutting
Care & Maintenance
Store carefully away from other hard gems to prevent chipping along cleavage planes
Interesting Facts
Diamonds possess perfect octahedral cleavage, meaning they can split along specific planes with a single hard blow
