Natural (Rough state)
Natural (Rough state) · Rough / Uncut (showing natural dodecahedral or octahedral growth patterns)
N/A (Rough state) Cut
Carat
Unknown (Insufficient scale for precise estimation)
Color
Near Colorless to Faint Gray/Yellow (Visual estimation)
Clarity
SI to I (Significant visible internal graining and surface growth marks)
Shape
Rough / Uncut (showing natural dodecahedral or octahedral growth patterns)
Overall Assessment
This is a high-quality natural diamond specimen in its raw, unpolished state, demonstrating classic growth morphology.
Cut Quality
N/A (Rough state)
Brilliance
Low (Light is diffused by rough surface and internal graining)
Fire
Minimal (Not yet faceted to disperse light)
Scintillation
Low (Reflects light primarily off external crystal faces)
Proportions
Irregular natural form
Symmetry
N/A (Rough crystal state)
Polish
N/A (Natural crystal faces present)
Fluorescence
Indeterminable under current lighting
Inclusions
Internal graining, feathers, and potential crystal inclusions visible through skin
Blemishes
Natural growth striations, trigons, and surface pitting characteristic of raw diamonds
Origin
Likely alluvial or kimberlite source (Africa or Russia commonly produce this texture)
Treatment Detection
None apparent; appears in natural raw state
Estimated Value
Highly dependent on weight; rough trades at a significant discount to polished
Certification Estimate
GIA Rough Diamond Grading or Kimberley Process Certification
Investment Potential
Moderate to High (Depends on yield and clarity after professional cutting)
Similar Diamonds
Uncut macle or dodecahedral rough
Setting Suggestions
Custom claw setting for organic jewelry or professional faceting to realize value
Care & Maintenance
Avoid heavy impact to prevent cleavage plane splitting; clean with mild soap
Interesting Facts
The surface features, like trigons, are 'fingerprints' of the diamond's volcanic journey.
