Fair to Poor (Experimental or rudimentary faceting on raw crystal) Cut
Carat
Estimated 5.00+ carats based on visible scale
Color
Fancy brownish-yellow or heavily included off-color
Clarity
I3 (Included with prominent internal flaws and surface fracture lines)
Shape
Rough crystal with partial step-cut or faceted development
Overall Assessment
An interesting raw mineral specimen with significant structural inclusions and fracture lines, better suited for a mineral collection than jewelry use.
Cut Quality
Fair to Poor (Experimental or rudimentary faceting on raw crystal)
Brilliance
Low due to heavy internal inclusions and clouding
Fire
Muted dispersion masked by extensive internal fracturing
Scintillation
Poor light return with dead zones across facets
Proportions
Non-standard, highly skewed depth and table ratios typical of custom-cut raw material
Symmetry
Poor, irregular facet distribution
Polish
Fair, exhibiting rough surface textures and abrasion lines
Fluorescence
Indeterminate from visual assessment
Inclusions
Heavy internal feathering, cloudiness, and crystal inclusions
Blemishes
Natural surface naturals, abrasions, and cleavage cracks
Origin
Natural rough gemstone material
Treatment Detection
No obvious artificial enhancement detected; appears in natural rough state
Estimated Value
Nominal value as a mineral specimen or industrial grade stone
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to receive standard certification due to low gem quality; minor local lab valuation only
Investment Potential
None as an investment asset; purely collectible as a mineral sample
Similar Diamonds
Industrial grade or low-tier ornamental diamond rough
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped or bezel setting recommended to secure fractured sections
Care & Maintenance
Handle with extreme care due to internal fractures that make it vulnerable to breakage
