Natural rough stone, appearing more characteristic of quartz or a heavily included mineral rather than gem-quality diamond, pending professional testing.
Natural rough stone, appearing more characteristic of quartz or a heavily included mineral rather than gem-quality diamond, pending professional testing. · Rough, uncut, irregular crystalline mass.
Not applicable (uncut rough). Cut
Carat
Estimated around 15-25 carats based on visual size relative to fingers.
Color
Milky white / translucent to opaque.
Clarity
I3 / heavily included with extensive internal fracturing.
Shape
Rough, uncut, irregular crystalline mass.
Overall Assessment
Visual inspection strongly suggests a rough translucent quartz or raw mineral specimen rather than a high-value diamond, requiring professional gemological verification (e.g., thermal tester or Raman spectroscopy).
Cut Quality
Not applicable (uncut rough).
Brilliance
Very low due to opacity and lack of facets.
Fire
Negligible to none.
Scintillation
None in current uncut state.
Proportions
Not applicable to uncut rough.
Symmetry
Natural irregular symmetry.
Polish
Unpolished natural crystal surface.
Fluorescence
Unknown, requires UV light testing.
Inclusions
Heavy internal clouding, fractures, and fissures throughout.
Blemishes
Natural surface roughness, pits, and irregularity.
Origin
Alluvial or primary geological deposit, unknown exact locality without spectroscopic testing.
Treatment Detection
No obvious signs of artificial enhancement; appears completely untreated.
Estimated Value
Nominal value as a raw mineral specimen, very low if confirmed as quartz or low-grade industrial material.
Certification Estimate
Standard gemological labs (GIA, IGI) would issue a mineral identification report rather than a standard diamond grading report if tested as non-diamond.
Investment Potential
None as an investment gem; collector value only if unique mineral.
Similar Diamonds
Comparable to industrial-grade boart or heavily included industrial diamonds.
Setting Suggestions
Wire-wrapped pendant or rustic bezel setting if used as an organic mineral specimen.
Care & Maintenance
Store separately to prevent scratching other materials; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners if fractures are deep.
Interesting Facts
Uncut rough stones show the natural crystalline growth habits before lapidary intervention transforms them into brilliant gems.
