Description from the seller

Exceptional 100% natural rough diamond of Indian origin, selected for its VVS quality, beautiful transparency, bright yellow color, and above all for its remarkably well-preserved natural crystal formation.

This specimen has a particularly spectacular morphology: its geometry immediately evokes the iconic octahedral crystallization of diamond, with broad natural faces organized around an extremely harmonious architecture.

The numerous growth lines and figures visible on its surfaces give the crystal a true mineralogical dimension.

A piece intended for both the diamond collector and the crystallography and gemology enthusiast.

Technical characteristics

- Stone: Natural rough diamond
- Weight: 0.24 carat
- Dimensions: 3.2 × 2.7 × 2.3 mm
- Origin: India
- Descriptive color: Fancy Yellow
- Claimed clarity: VVS
- Transparency: Very high
- Morphology: Natural octahedral crystallization
- Surface: Natural growth figures and striations particularly visible
- Condition: Natural rough, uncut
- Quality: Premium selection
- Naturalness: 100% natural

An exceptional natural crystal formation

The major feature of this diamond undeniably lies in its natural morphology.
The crystal presents a remarkably structured geometry, with several large triangular faces characteristic of the diamond’s octahedral organization. This architecture is particularly sought after in collection specimens, as it allows direct observation of how the diamond developed naturally.
Macro photography also reveals numerous parallel growth lines, clearly perceptible on several faces. They create a succession of geometric patterns that seem almost engraved into the crystal.
Yet, this is not an artificially crafted décor: these structures belong to the very history of the diamond’s growth.

Fascinating growth figures

One of the faces notably reveals a superb triangular organization surrounded by fine successive striations.
These reliefs constitute a true mineralogical testimony. During its formation, the crystal did not grow perfectly uniformly: variations in its growth environment left characteristic structures and reliefs on its surfaces.
Under magnification, the diamond thus becomes almost a miniature crystal landscape.
This combination of octahedral form, large natural faces, and clearly visible growth figures gives this specimen an interest that far surpasses its gem-only character.

A luminous Fancy Yellow color

Its yellow color adds a second, particularly appealing dimension to the crystal.
Visually, it can be described as Fancy Yellow, with a bright yellow hue with slightly golden nuances depending on orientation and light source.
The material’s transparency allows this color to pass through the crystal rather than stay confined to the surface. Under direct light, the transparent areas take on a beautiful yellow glow while some faces produce strong white and silver flashes.
The result is an especially elegant contrast between color, transparency, and adamantine brilliance.

VVS quality and remarkable transparency

The declared VVS quality is an additional asset of this specimen.
Its very fine transparency allows deep observation of the crystal’s structure and greatly enhances its optical behavior under light. The different natural faces alternately act as windows and mirrors, creating a sequence of particularly intense reflections.
Light thus simultaneously reveals the diamond’s color, its volume, and the complexity of its crystallization.

India: the origins of diamond history

The Indian origin adds a prestigious historical dimension to this piece.
For many centuries, India was the world's main source of diamonds known to the ancient world, long before the Brazilian and then African diamond discoveries.
Indian diamonds crossed major trade routes and fed the treasures of Asian, Middle Eastern, and European rulers.
At a time when modern cutting techniques did not yet exist, the beauty of natural crystals and their geometric forms was already especially appreciated.
Thus, a rough diamond of Indian origin sits within a gemological tradition dating back several millennia.

A true collection crystal

This specimen brings together a particularly attractive combination: Indian natural diamond, Fancy Yellow color, declared VVS quality, excellent transparency, and above all a superb natural crystallization with especially expressive growth figures.
This is precisely the type of diamond that deserves to be kept in its rough state: its morphology is itself an essential part of its beauty and interest.

A remarkable premium collection piece, intended for the collector seeking not only a natural diamond, but a true diamond crystal whose geometry and surfaces directly tell its formation process deep within the Earth.
