Overall Assessment
The specimen shown in the image is an uncut raw quartz or quartzite rock, not a diamond. It lacks the crystal habit, hardness, optical brilliance, and refractive index characteristic of diamond.
Cut Quality
Not applicable (uncut raw mineral)
Brilliance
Low to none (due to lack of facets and milky composition)
Fire
None
Scintillation
None
Proportions
Not applicable
Symmetry
Natural irregular formation
Polish
Raw, unpolished surface with natural texture
Fluorescence
Cannot determine visually without UV testing
Inclusions
Extensive internal fractures, micro-fissures, and matrix staining
Blemishes
Surface weathering, dirt, and iron oxide staining
Origin
Alluvial or terrestrial quartz rock
Treatment Detection
No treatments detected (natural raw stone)
Estimated Value
Minimal decorative/mineral specimen value (under $10)
Certification Estimate
Not eligible for diamond certification (would be analyzed as quartz by GIA identification service)

None as an investment; strictly a common mineral specimen
Similar Diamonds
None (this is not a diamond)
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped rough stone jewelry or kept as a raw mineral specimen
Care & Maintenance
Wash gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt
