Natural rough mineral crystal, likely quartz or a low-grade industrial diamond specimen
Natural rough mineral crystal, likely quartz or a low-grade industrial diamond specimen · Rough crystal elongation with natural faces
Not applicable (rough uncut specimen) Cut
Carat
Estimated 2.5 - 4.0 carats based on physical dimensions
Color
Off-white / brownish tint
Clarity
I3 / heavily included with internal fractures
Shape
Rough crystal elongation with natural faces
Overall Assessment
This is an unrefined natural mineral specimen, likely a raw quartz crystal or low-grade industrial rough rather than a high-value gemstone diamond, possessing great value for mineral collectors but limited commercial jewelry potential in its current form
Cut Quality
Not applicable (rough uncut specimen)
Brilliance
Low due to lack of standard facet angles and heavy inclusions
Fire
Minimal dispersion observed in current raw state
Scintillation
Poor due to lack of a polished symmetrical facet pattern
Proportions
Uncut elongated mineral crystal, non-standard proportions
Symmetry
Natural asymmetrical crystal formation
Polish
Raw, unpolished natural surface texture
Fluorescence
Unable to determine without UV testing (likely none to faint)
Inclusions
Heavy internal clouding, feather fractures, and mineral inclusions
Blemishes
Natural growth lines, surface pitting, and rough edges
Origin
Natural alluvial or matrix-hosted mineral rough
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial treatments; appears untreated and natural
Estimated Value
Minimal specimen or mineral collection value ($10 - $50)
Certification Estimate
Not economically viable for standard gemological lab grading (GIA/AGS)
Investment Potential
Negligible investment value; valuable primarily as a raw mineral specimen
Similar Diamonds
Low-grade industrial diamond rough or raw quartz crystal specimens
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped pendant setting to preserve the raw, organic crystal appearance
Care & Maintenance
Handle with care to prevent chipping along natural cleavage or fracture lines; clean gently with mild soap and warm water
Interesting Facts
Raw diamond crystals often display natural curved growth lines and triangular depressions called trigons on their faces
