Natural diamond in rough or heavily included/fractured state
Natural diamond in rough or heavily included/fractured state · Rough crystal fragment / Uncut
Not applicable (Rough crystal / unpolished) Cut
Carat
Difficult to estimate precisely from close-up image, potentially variable depending on full dimensions
Color
Fancy brownish-yellow or heavily included off-color
Clarity
I3 (Included - heavily fractured with structural inclusions)
Shape
Rough crystal fragment / Uncut
Overall Assessment
This image shows a close-up of a rough, heavily included natural diamond or mineral specimen with significant iron staining within its fractures, classifying it as industrial-grade material rather than a cut gemstone.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (Rough crystal / unpolished)
Brilliance
Very low due to opacity and internal fracturing
Fire
Minimal to none due to lack of facets and optical clarity
Scintillation
Absent due to rough, unfaceted state
Proportions
Not applicable (Rough crystalline form)
Symmetry
Not applicable (Rough state)
Polish
Not applicable (Rough state)
Fluorescence
Cannot be determined without UV light testing
Inclusions
Extensive internal fracturing, feather inclusions, mineral staining, and iron oxide/rust discoloration filling cracks
Blemishes
Natural surface irregularities, rough skin, pits, and cavities
Origin
Natural alluvial or primary kimberlite deposit origin
Treatment Detection
No obvious treatments observed; appears entirely natural with mineral staining in fissures
Estimated Value
Nominal value as a mineral specimen or industrial-grade diamond material
Certification Estimate
GIA or AGS (Industrial grade or specimen grading)
Investment Potential
Low investment potential for jewelry use; value is strictly geological or specimen-based
Similar Diamonds
Industrial-grade boart, low-quality rough diamond specimens
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped or organic bezel setting if kept as a raw mineral specimen piece
Care & Maintenance
Store carefully to avoid breakage along internal cleavage planes; avoid harsh chemicals that could dissolve surface staining
Interesting Facts
Most natural diamonds mined globally are of industrial quality rather than gem quality, often used in abrasives and cutting tools
