Indeterminate Rough Crystal
Overall Assessment
This specimen does not exhibit the optical properties of a jewelry-grade diamond. It appears to be a fragment of synthetic blue carbon material or a low-grade industrial crystal with significant structural defects.

Uncut/None
Brilliance
Very Low (Opaque to translucent)
Fire
None visible
Scintillation
Low to None
Proportions
Asymmetric raw material
Symmetry
Poor/None
Polish
None
Fluorescence
Strong Blue (Possible UV excitation visible)
Inclusions
Extensive internal fracturings, carbon spotting, and graining
Blemishes
Surface abrasions and irregular pitting
Origin
Synthetic/Lab-grown (Likely byproduct)
Treatment Detection
Possible dyeing or HPHT processing for color enhancement
Estimated Value
$10 - $50 (Decorative or industrial value)
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to be certified by GIA/AGS as a gemstone; industrial classification likely
Investment Potential
Very Low to None
Similar Diamonds
Indusial blue diamonds or rough glass slag
Setting Suggestions
Not recommended for fine jewelry; specimen display only
Care & Maintenance
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals due to high surface porosity
Interesting Facts
The intense blue color often occurs in diamonds due to Boron impurities, but in synthetics, it is often a result of rapid lab growth.
