Natural rough diamond crystal cluster
Natural rough diamond crystal cluster · Rough unpolished crystal / irregular aggregate
Not applicable (uncut rough specimen) Cut
Carat
Estimated 3.50 - 5.00 carats based on visual scale
Color
Near-colorless to light yellow (approx. G-J range)
Clarity
Not applicable to rough stone; contains visible inclusions and fractures
Shape
Rough unpolished crystal / irregular aggregate
Overall Assessment
An interesting, substantial natural rough diamond crystal showing raw crystalline texture and potential for custom lapidary work or unique organic jewelry design.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (uncut rough specimen)
Brilliance
Limited due to lack of standard facet angles and rough surface
Fire
Minimal dispersion visible through raw exterior
Scintillation
Reflects light broadly across uneven natural crystal faces rather than structured facets
Proportions
N/A for rough stone
Symmetry
Natural irregular crystalline symmetry
Polish
Raw, unpolished natural crystal faces and resorption surfaces
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined without UV light testing
Inclusions
Internal feathers, cloudiness, and crystal inclusions typical of raw diamond
Blemishes
Natural surface trigons, rough skin, and irregular growth lines
Origin
Likely alluvial or primary kimberlite deposit origin (African or Canadian source)
Treatment Detection
No signs of artificial treatment; completely untreated natural rough
Estimated Value
Variable depending on cutting yield, estimated between $1,500 - $3,500 in rough state
Certification Estimate
GIA or IDEX would issue a rough diamond report or origin certificate
Investment Potential
Moderate, primarily valued as a collector's mineral specimen or for bespoke jewelry creators
Similar Diamonds
Comparable natural rough diamond specimens and uncut industrial or gem-grade crystals
Setting Suggestions
Best suited for custom raw diamond jewelry, organic bezel settings, or cutting into polished gemstones
Care & Maintenance
Store separately to prevent scratching other stones; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
