Description
A Superb gem quality and SHARP diamond crystal in matrix from Russia. The crystal is a single octohedron with intricately stepped faces. The diamond has been estimated to be nearly 1.5 carats. The diamond is gemmy and read-through, absolutely facetable. It measures 5 mm across. Although it might seem small, it has wonderful visual impact because of the clarity and perch on contrasting matrix. Embedded nearly 50% in the matrix, so you know it is real. Additionally, around the diamond is a thin white layer you sometimes see in these pieces. This indicates not glue but rather an alteration in the surrounding rock due to the chemical heat of formation of the crystal; and is a good indication of its origins as natural.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
