Carat
Cannot be precisely determined visually, estimated between 3 to 5 carats equivalent mass
Color
Blue-tinted translucent to transparent fancy coloration
Clarity
Included (Contains visible surface striations, fractures, and internal flaws)
Shape
Uncut raw rough crystal fragment with irregular morphology
Overall Assessment
An interesting raw mineral fragment displaying striking blue surface striations, but conclusively not a diamond
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Rough uncut specimen)
Brilliance
Low to moderate vitreous luster
Fire
Low dispersion, typical of non-diamond minerals
Scintillation
Minimal sparkle due to lack of standard faceting
Proportions
Not applicable to raw rough material
Symmetry
Asymmetrical raw crystal shard
Polish
Unpolished natural or fracture surface
Fluorescence
Strong blue fluorescence under direct or UV light interaction
Inclusions
Heavy internal stress fractures, parallel growth lines, and striations
Blemishes
Natural surface pitting, irregular edges, and cleavage planes
Origin
Natural mineral or synthetic material requiring further physical testing
Treatment Detection
No obvious enhancements, appears in a natural or raw manufactured state
Estimated Value
Nominal value as a raw specimen or mineral sample (under $50)
Certification Estimate
Standard gemological laboratories (GIA, IGI) would classify this as an uncertified mineral rough
Investment Potential
Negligible; strictly decorative or educational specimen
Similar Diamonds
None (this is not a diamond)
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped pendant or bespoke raw mineral bezel setting
Care & Maintenance
Store separately to prevent scratching softer surrounding gemstones; clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
