Overall Assessment
This is a fascinating natural rough diamond crystal fragment, displaying raw geological characteristics and interesting surface etch features, perfect for custom organic jewelry or mineral collection
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Uncut Rough)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of faceting and rough surface texture
Fire
Minimal dispersion visible in current raw state
Scintillation
Poor, lacking standard facet reflections
Proportions
N/A for rough crystal
Symmetry
Natural Asymmetric Crystal Formation
Polish
Natural Unpolished Surface (Rough trigons or etch channels visible)
Fluorescence
Unknown (Requires UV testing)
Inclusions
Natural crystal inclusions, cloudiness, and feather fractures typical of rough diamond material
Blemishes
Natural surface pitting, etch markings, and rough cleavage planes
Origin
Natural alluvial or primary kimberlite source (exact mine unknown)
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial treatment; appears completely untreated as mined
Estimated Value
Varies widely depending on internal purity after cutting; rough diamond market value estimated between $300 - $1,500
Certification Estimate
GIA or similar major labs would issue a rough diamond report rather than a standard cut grading report
Investment Potential
Generally considered collector's or lapidary material rather than a traditional investment-grade polished diamond
Similar Diamonds

Setting Suggestions
Can be mounted in a custom organic bezel or wire-wrapped setting to showcase its raw, natural aesthetic
Care & Maintenance
Avoid harsh impacts along natural cleavage planes; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
The surface features show natural growth markings and dissolution features formed deep within the Earth's mantle over a billion years ago
