Not Applicable (Uncut Rough) Cut
Carat
Estimated 1.50 - 2.50 carats based on visual scale
Color
K-M (Light brown/yellowish tint)
Clarity
I2 - I3 (Heavy inclusions and internal fractures)
Shape
Irregular / Raw Crystal Form
Overall Assessment
An interesting and raw natural diamond specimen showing classic unpolished growth characteristics, heavily included, best suited for mineral collections or raw-stone jewelry designs
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Uncut Rough)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of faceted geometry and heavy internal inclusions
Fire
Minimal dispersion observed through raw translucent areas
Scintillation
Poor due to unpolished and irregular surface facets
Proportions
N/A - Natural crystal habit (octahedral or distorted morphology)
Symmetry
Natural asymmetrical crystal growth
Polish
Raw crystal faces with natural trigons and striations
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual assessment (typically Medium to Strong Blue in natural rough)
Inclusions
Extensive internal feathering, cloud formations, and crystal fractures
Blemishes
Natural surface etch channels, pits, and growth marks
Origin
Likely alluvial or primary kimberlite pipe deposit (African or Canadian origin typical)
Treatment Detection
No signs of artificial enhancement; entirely natural state
Estimated Value
$100 - $300 USD (Industrial/Ornamental Specimen)
Certification Estimate
GIA or IGI would classify as Industrial or Low-Gem Quality Rough

Similar Diamonds
Standard industrial-grade or low-gem-quality octahedral rough stones
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped raw pendant or bespoke organic bezel setting in yellow gold
Care & Maintenance
Avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners due to internal fracturing; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
