Natural (Rough Crystal / Uncut Mineral Specimen)
Natural (Rough Crystal / Uncut Mineral Specimen) · Rough / Untouched Crystal Form
Not Applicable (Uncut rough stone) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.50 to 3.50 carats based on rough dimensions
Color
Near Colorless to Faint Brownish tint (I-J range equivalent)
Clarity
Included (SI2 to I1 range due to internal fractures and surface irregularities)
Shape
Rough / Untouched Crystal Form
Overall Assessment
An interesting natural rough diamond specimen exhibiting raw crystal texture and fracture characteristics, best suited for mineral collections or specialized custom rough-stone jewelry design rather than standard high-end faceted use.
Cut Quality
Not Applicable (Uncut rough stone)
Brilliance
Low to Moderate due to rough and unpolished surface scattering light
Fire
Minimal visible fire in current rough state
Scintillation
Poor scintillation due to lack of faceted geometry
Proportions
Irregular natural proportions; no standard table, depth, or angles apply
Symmetry
Natural asymmetric crystal growth
Polish
Raw, unpolished natural crystal faces and conchoidal fracture surfaces
Fluorescence
Cannot be definitively assessed without UV testing, likely Faint to Medium
Inclusions
Internal feather fractures, pinpoints, and potential mineral inclusions
Blemishes
Surface naturals, roughness, and chipping along fracture planes
Origin
Natural alluvial or primary kimberlite deposit origin
Treatment Detection
No signs of artificial treatments; completely untreated rough material
Estimated Value
Modest value as a mineral specimen; valuation depends heavily on whether it can be successfully cut into a polished gem
Certification Estimate
GIA or similar major lab would issue a Rough Diamond Report or Certificate of Origin if submitted prior to cutting
Investment Potential
Low investment potential for jewellery grade, primarily of interest to mineral collectors or lapidaries
Similar Diamonds
Standard run-of-mine natural diamond rough stones of industrial or low gem quality
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped pendant setting or custom organic bezel to preserve the natural rough crystal aesthetic
Care & Maintenance
Handle with care to prevent further chipping along natural cleavage and fracture lines; clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush
Interesting Facts
Rough diamonds showcase the natural octahedral or distorted crystal growth habits dictated by cubic crystal systems before human intervention
