All auctions / Ethnographic / DIAMOND Near Colorless - EXCEPTIONAL VVS - NO RESERVE...
A superb rough crystal with remarkable transparency and beautiful growth patterns Discover this exceptional natural rough diamond of 0.28 carats, a gem of great quality distinguished by its declared VVS clarity, Near Colorless color, and particularly aesthetic natural crystallization. Preserved in its rough state, this specimen reveals the complexity and beauty of a diamond formed naturally deep within the Earth. Its Near Colorless hue, very close to colorless, gives it a clear, bright, and particularly luminous appearance. Under a light source, its various crystal faces produce strong white and silvery reflections, characteristic of the extraordinary adamantine luster of the diamond. The stone exhibits very good transparency, allowing light to penetrate deeply into the crystal and reveal a multitude of internal structures. Its declared VVS clarity contributes to this impression of limpidity and lends the specimen a visually elegant presence. One of the most interesting aspects of this diamond lies in its complex natural crystallization. Several facets display magnificent reliefs, striations, and geometric growth figures. Wide reflective surfaces alternate with more finely textured areas, creating a true play of depth when the crystal is observed from different angles. With dimensions of 3.8 × 3.0 × 2.6 mm, this diamond has a compact and balanced morphology. Despite its weight of only 0.28 carats, its beautiful transparency and numerous reflective planes give it a remarkable presence.

A true miniature natural sculpture This diamond has an especially interesting architecture: its surface is made up of a succession of crystallographic planes, geometric reliefs, and natural growth figures that catch light differently depending on the orientation of the specimen. Some areas offer extremely bright reflections while others allow greater depth of the crystal to be observed. This alternation between transparency, reflection, and crystal texture gives the diamond a living, constantly changing appearance when moved under light.
