Not a diamond; Identifiable as a polished semi-precious gemstone or mineral specimen, likely Moss Agate or a variety of Jasper.
Not a diamond; Identifiable as a polished semi-precious gemstone or mineral specimen, likely Moss Agate or a variety of Jasper. · Polished Tumble / Cabochon (Ovoid shape)
N/A (Tumbled finish, not a faceted gemstone cut) Cut
Carat
Estimated 25 to 45 carats (based on typical size of tumbled stones of this nature relative to carpet pile)
Color
N/A (Heterogeneous green, teal, and white mottled pattern)
Clarity
Opaque to Translucent (Ineligible for diamond clarity scale)
Shape
Polished Tumble / Cabochon (Ovoid shape)
Overall Assessment
The object is a natural mineral specimen, specifically a variety of chalcedony (likely Moss Agate), and possesses none of the physical, optical, or chemical properties of a diamond.
Cut Quality
N/A (Tumbled finish, not a faceted gemstone cut)
Brilliance
Low (Diffused surface reflection only)
Fire
None (No spectral dispersion present)
Scintillation
None
Proportions
N/A (Non-standard geometric proportions)
Symmetry
Poor (Asymmetrical organic ovoid shape)
Polish
Good (Smooth surface finish with visible resinous to vitreous luster)
Fluorescence
Indeterminable without UV light, but unlikely to show diamond-characteristic fluorescence.
Inclusions
Dense moss-like inclusions, dendrites, and possible quartz crystalline pockets.
Blemishes
Visible pits and surface unevenness typical of tumbled natural minerals.
Origin
Likely India or Brazil (Common sources for Moss Agate and Jasper)
Treatment Detection
Possibly dyed or wax-stabilized, though appears largely natural in color.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $10.00 USD (Common decorative/pocket stone value)
Certification Estimate
Gemological laboratories (like GIA) would issue a Colored Stone Identification Report, not a Diamond Grading Report.
Investment Potential
None (Mass-produced decorative mineral)
Similar Diamonds
None (Does not resemble diamond; most similar to Green Aventurine or Tree Agate)
Setting Suggestions
Wire wrapping, bezel-set pendant, or display as a pocket 'worry stone'. Not suitable for traditional diamond prong settings.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could penetrate surface pits.
Interesting Facts
Moss agate is often nicknamed the 'Gardener's Stone' and is actually a variety of chalcedony rather than a true agate due to its lack of banding.
