Natural rough diamond crystal
Natural rough diamond crystal · Uncut rough / crystal form (elongated octahedron / irregular rough)
Not applicable (uncut rough crystal) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.50 to 3.50 carats based on visible dimensions and density
Color
Near-colorless to faint yellow tint (approx. G-J range)
Clarity
Included (approx. I1-I2 based on visible internal fracturing and inclusions)
Shape
Uncut rough / crystal form (elongated octahedron / irregular rough)
Overall Assessment
An intriguing natural rough diamond crystal displaying classic growth features and surface textures, offering great potential for custom lapidary work and bespoke jewelry design
Cut Quality
Not applicable (uncut rough crystal)
Brilliance
Limited in current rough state; will exhibit high brilliance once properly cut and faceted
Fire
Subdued in raw state, but natural dispersion will manifest strongly after cutting
Scintillation
Minimal play of light currently due to unpolished and uneven crystal faces
Proportions
Rough elongated crystal form, requires professional mapping and planning for optimal yield before cutting
Symmetry
Natural crystalline symmetry showing growth lines and trigons typical of rough stones
Polish
Natural rough surface with characteristic crystal growth features, no human polish applied yet
Fluorescence
Cannot be definitively determined without UV testing, likely Faint to Medium Blue based on common natural rough properties
Inclusions
Visible internal feathers, clouds, and potential mineral inclusions (such as small graphite or sulfide spots)
Blemishes
Natural surface depressions, trigons, and irregular growth texture typical of uncut diamond rough
Origin
Natural alluvial or primary kimberlite pipe deposit
Treatment Detection
No treatments detected; appears completely untreated and natural in its rough state
Estimated Value
Varies significantly based on cutting yield, final clarity, and color retention after processing
Certification Estimate
Requires grading by GIA or IGI as a rough diamond or post-cutting as a polished stone
Investment Potential
Moderate to high speculative value depending on the cutter's skill in maximizing weight retention and improving clarity grade upon cutting
Similar Diamonds
Comparable to standard industrial-to-commercial grade natural diamond rough from African or Canadian primary deposits
Setting Suggestions
Can be kept in an organic, raw form for avant-garde rustic jewelry, or custom-cut into a traditional shape like an Emerald or Oval cut set in platinum or yellow gold
Care & Maintenance
Store separately to prevent scratching other jewelry; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds retain the unique geological signature of their journey deep within the Earth's mantle over billions of years before being brought to the surface
