Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Octahedron
Carats: 1.62
Measurements: 7.3 x 7.5 x 6.00mm
Color: D - brightest clearest white color
Description: This here is the nicest, fanciest raw diamond we have ever had on inventory. A rough diamond that is clean and clear - as you can see from the photos and videos below. As a single stone, it has a great deal of value in and of itself, it's quite a rare piece, and even moreso, if placed in a unique setting, this will make an absolutely spectacular ring. First of all, its structure architecturally is excellent - the stone is proportional but not too perfect, the points are strong and even yet not too sharp, the heart of the stone is clean and clear and you can look into all the transparent edges to see just that. Now, the final thing that makes this glorious octahedron even more special is the white trigon internal crystal that floats gently at the heart of the stone. This is a very unique "stamp" to this stone that makes it so that no other stone will ever be similar. Now, here's what makes this stone really spectacular - on several edges and internally, there is a natural crystal structure that appears to float freely in the stone and has the shape of a star. This raw diamond that originally came from a star itself millions of years ago is dotted with a couple little star patterns within. It's just spectacular and we absolutely love this piece.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Octahedron
Carats: 1.67
Measurements: 7.24 x 5.68 x 5.63mm
Color: D - brightest clearest white color
Description: The most spectacular of our raw diamonds in our collection at the moment. This raw diamond is an almost perfectly proportional octahedral shape with excellent lines and terminations. The interior is clean and clear of any inclusions, and the color is a colorless bright white with a shine and refraction ability that gives light everywhere. This stone is very valuable in and of itself. Now, if you look at it under a microscope, you can see the the surface actually has a bit of patterning that does not appear to the naked eye, and the patterns are stunning! Almost like ancient etchings on cave walls, except they are made purely by the growth of the diamond crystals themselves, they are triangles of varying sizes called trigons, and their appearance is as if the stone has drawn a mountain range on its own edges. Really an amazing piece.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Octahedron
Carats: 1.55
Measurements: 7.17 x 5.75 x 4.89
Color: D - brightest clearest white color
Description: Beautiful bright and elegant rough diamond octahedron. This one has such an intensely beautiful structure with clean and clear lines and windows into its clear heart. This raw diamond is really a specimen to behold and it carries its beauty and light so clearly. At the heart of the stone is a floating trigon - part of its natural crystalline structure, not an inclusion but rather a floating crystal, it's really special and beautiful and reminds us that we're all floating crystals in this place we call earth.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Octahedron
Carats: 1.52
Measurements: 7 x 5.08 x 5.79mm
Color: D - brightest white color
Description: Amazing octahedron that is completely colorless and emits a bright white light. This raw diamond octahedron is unique in its surface patterning - the geometrical lines that were naturally created on its surface during its crystal's formation. The surface patterns are concentric triangles that don't exactly match up with one another creating the most stunning effect! The earth is truly the greatest artist. This is a sparkly bright white piece and it's going to look amazing once set.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Octahedron
Carats: 1.67
Measurements: 7.1 x 7.09 x 5.41mm
Color: Near Colorless, D/E
Description: Oh wow, this stone is incredible. I write these descriptions one by one as I sit in my office, and I came upon this stone and just said, wow. It's big, it's proportional, it's bright white, it's clean and and clear but not too clear if you know what I mean (like it's not glassy, it's diamondy), and there is this awesome effect on the "windows" of each side. If you look closely, the windows have etchings of what appear to be mountains, almost like ancient cave etchings, but here, made by the earth over the formation of this diamond for millions of years. This is going to be an expensive stone, and it completely justifies its value. This is a very very nice piece.

Type of Stone : Diamond
Shape : Octahedron
Carats : 1.61
Measurements : 7.25 x 6.99 x 5.91mm
Color : Gold
Description : This proportional and amazing golden octahedral raw diamond is quite the specimen. It has a wonderful size, shape, and clarity. The color is out of this world - sunny and golden, and full of light. We love these perfectly structured octahedral raw diamonds because it shows how natural structure in diamonds can also be perfect. This will set beautifully and amazingly in any ring and will be a top of conversation, this stone will not go unnoticed!

Type of Stone : Diamond
Shape : Freeform
Carats : 1.32
Measurements : 5.88 x 5.20 x 4.61mm
Color : D - very bright white
Description : Very nice and clear and smooth almost octahedral, yet rounded, freeform raw diamond. This one has a slightly flatter side that would be the obvious side to set downward, and will hold nicely in a ring sitting. Very clean and shiny with a unique natural architecture that alludes to its rawness. This is both a raw-looking yet fancy piece. It will look excellent in any of our settings.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Dodecahedron
Carats: 1.45
Measurements: 5.54 x 5.22 x 5.46mm
Color: D - very bright white
Description: A beautiful, bright, shiny specimen of a rough diamond! This one really holds the light and refracts it forward. The stone itself has a very round shape to it overall, but it is actually a dodecahedron with diamond shaped surfaces throughout that refract light in different directions and allow you to peer into the clean center of the stone. The surface also holds light due to the unique surface patterning on this raw diamond. It is a really gemmy, fancy piece and will look excellent when worn.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Rhombododecahedron
Carats: 1.61
Measurements: 6.3 x 4.9 x 6.65mm
Color: Near Colorless, D/E
Description: Gorgeous, gemmy and bright rough diamond that doesn't appear to be very "rough" at all! Notice that within the stone we have a clean and clear center with an inclusion on one side. From some angles, this inclusion appears minimal, but from other angles, it can appear larger and like a circle of carbon - you get the choice of how you want to show this inclusion with this stone, it all depends on the angle it's set. On the surface, there is a bit of patterning that provides intrigue and sparkle to the stone. And, generally, it's a very high quality piece of diamond at a nice size, and its appearance shows just that.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Dodecahedron / Octahedron
Carats: 1.78
Measurements: 7 x 5.51 x 5.78mm
Color: E - near colorless
Description: This magical octahedral/dodecahedral raw diamond is clean and clear and bright with a white light in some directions and a golden light in others. This mixture of light colorings and shape make this a very multifaceted piece. From some angles, the windows are triangular like an octahedron but at other angles, the windows are diamond shaped, like a dodecahedron. It will be interesting once it's set, as both shapes will be laid bare for one to examine and enjoy. This beautiful and intriguing raw diamond will look amazing in any raw diamond engagement setting.

Type of Stone : Diamond
Shape : Freeform
Carats : 1.52
Measurements : 8.9 x 5.18 x 3.5mm
Color : Light yellow
Here is a completely unedited video of this stone in natural sunlight:
Description : Happy light yellow and very clean and clear raw diamond. This one has has one very flat side with a perfectly clear window into its internal structure or the other side has a bit more patterning on the surface so it looks a bit more rough and sparkly. Either of these two sides could be set upwards, depending on your preference, they're both beautiful ways of showcasing this gorgeous stone.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Dodecahedron and Octahedron
Carats: 1.72
Measurements: 6.91 x 5.5 x 5.4mm
Color: E - white with a slight natural coloring that is difficult for the eye to detect
Description: This is an interesting and stunning piece. At different angles, the structure of this stone appears to be either octahedron - like a stacked pyramid shape - or like a dodecahedron - which has diamond shaped "windows" on its surface. So, the surfaces of this stone are both triangular and diamond shaped, giving this stone an almost magical appearance. It is almost perfectly clean with one small wisp-like inclusion on one edge that will be covered most likely when set, though it could be set in a manner that the tiny inclusion is laid bare - for intrigue. The surface of the stone has geometric lines on it, gently outlining the shape of the windows themselves. This provides a multidimensionality to the appearance of the diamond - giving it shine and sparkle as well. This will set beautifully no matter which way you choose to set it, and as a rough diamond on its own it's a very special specimen.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Octahedron/Dodecahedron
Carats: 1.24
Measurements: 6.62x5.83x4.73mm
Color: D-E
Description: This is an amazing rough diamond! It is bright and sparkly and full of light and clear and perfectly colored. You cannot go wrong with this stone. From different angles it appears to be a dodecahedron, and from other angles octahedral, so the structure is also unique. It's very shimmery, almost as if it's cut, but it's not, it's just a beautiful natural piece of the earth that mother nature created for us.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Dodecahedron
Carats: 1.28
Measurements: 5.54 x 5.22 x 5.46mm
Color: D - very bright white
Description: Clean and clear dodecahedron with nice windows into the heart of the stone that appears clean and bright and full of light. We like how the light shines on the different angles of the stone producing a multifaceted lighting effect. The surface of the stone is slightly patterned with natural lines and these give the stone some sparkle on the surface as well without impeding the clarity appearance of the stone. This one will set beautifully because it's a bit flatter and spreads out clearly laying out many of its windows on its top surface. It has a very fancy effect and will look excellent in any setting.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Octahedron
Carats: 1.17
Measurements: 6.3 x 5.06 x 5.01mm
Color: D-E - bright white, near colorless
Description: A proportional and excellent raw diamond octahedron that will really wow. This type of octahedron always seems to have "diamond experts" tell us that they were cut by human hands to look like this, and we find ourselves trying to explain to them that this is the natural shape of raw diamonds and that the earth created them just so. The perfection of the windows and the proportionality of the stone really confuses gemologists who don't have a lot of experience with rough. You may, when wearing this stone, come across the same conversation with others. This beautiful piece you can be absolutely assured, was cut by the earth alone - grown just as is and taken from the earth in this clean, clear, beautiful way. It's bright and full of light, and will look like a classic rough diamond octahedron in your ring.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Freeform
Carats: 1.30
Measurements: 6.3 x 5.3 x 4.1mm
Color: Colorless, D
Description: Absolutely luminous sparkly and bright rough diamond that has a rounded shape to it. It appears to be an alluvial diamond, meaning that it was formed or spent at least millions of years exposed to water. The way this rough diamond catches light is unbelievable - it holds the light internally and appears to have its own glowing quality. It is flawless and clear internally and on the surface.

Type of Stone: Diamond
Shape: Octahedron
Carats: 1.30
Measurements: 6.7 x 6.35 x 5.2mm
Color: Colorless, D
Description: This has to be one of our favorite types of raw diamonds - the perfect octahedron. This is, believe it or not, the perfectly natural formed shape of this diamond - no human hands have done any modifications or cuts to this stone. It is proportionate, clear, clean (except the one white seam you can see in the photos), and bright white. The surfaces of each triangular window are smooth and clear, allowing you to easily view the center of the stone. We think this diamond is even more perfect because of that one white seam that has an effect that allows you to see it was naturally formed by the earth (lab diamonds do not show this type of internal patterning), plus it just looks really cool.
