Natural Diamond (Potentially Glass-Filled or Heavily Treated Based on Surface Cavities and Irregular Internal Reflections)
Natural Diamond (Potentially Glass-Filled or Heavily Treated Based on Surface Cavities and Irregular Internal Reflections) · Oval Cabochon / Heavy Rose Cut Hybrid
Poor (Irregular proportions, lack of standard faceting symmetry, asymmetrical rounded girdle) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.50 to 3.50 carats based on visual dimensions
Color
Light Brown / Tinted (K-M range)
Clarity
I3 (Included - heavily fractured with surface-reaching cavities and inclusions)
Shape
Oval Cabochon / Heavy Rose Cut Hybrid
Overall Assessment
This specimen is a heavily included, lower-quality diamond exhibiting significant natural and potentially artificial surface-reaching fractures. Its value lies primarily in its unique rustic appearance rather than traditional optical performance.
Cut Quality
Poor (Irregular proportions, lack of standard faceting symmetry, asymmetrical rounded girdle)
Brilliance
Very Low (Impeded heavily by internal fractures and cloudy inclusions)
Fire
Negligible (Dispersion is scattered and obscured by internal fracturing)
Scintillation
Poor (Lacks balanced flash and contrast due to cloudy and fractured interior)
Proportions
Irregular proportions with a domed top (cabochon style) rather than standard pavilion/crown angles
Symmetry
Poor (Asymmetrical outline, misaligned facets and surface contours)
Polish
Fair to Poor (Visible surface pitting, abrasions, and polishing lines)
Fluorescence
Cannot be definitively determined visually (likely Faint to None under UV)
Inclusions
Extensive internal feather fractures, clouds, heavy graining, and crystal inclusions
Blemishes
Surface-reaching fractures, pits, scratches, and abrasions across the bezel and crown
Origin
Natural African or South American origin (indeterminate without advanced spectroscopic testing)
Treatment Detection
High probability of clarity enhancement via fracture filling (glass/resin) and potential surface coating
Estimated Value
$300 - $800 USD (Mainly industrial or low-end commercial gemstone value)
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to receive a standard diamond grading report from GIA or AGS due to heavy treatments and industrial quality; local appraisal only.
Investment Potential
Poor. Low liquidity and minimal potential for appreciation given the heavy inclusions and treatment.
Similar Diamonds
Industrial grade diamonds, heavily fractured lower-tier brown diamonds, or heavily included slice diamonds
Setting Suggestions
Bezel setting in heavy yellow or rose gold to hide irregular girdle and protect fragile surface-reaching fractures
Care & Maintenance
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and steam cleaning, as these can damage fracture-filling materials and worsen internal cracks.
Interesting Facts
Stones of this quality are frequently utilized for industrial abrasive purposes or sold as novelty 'salt and pepper' or rustic slice jewelry.
