The answer depends on the state of the diamond.
- Raw from the ground, a diamond is a rock, a stone, and its clarity may be clear to cloudy.
- A diamond rock can vary from the size of a pin head to the largest raw diamond ever found, which fit into the palm of a grown man's hand.
- Some raw diamonds appear to be pyramids, joined at the base, or some variant of this natural shape.
- A raw diamond may possess a natural colour.
Once cut and polished -- a gemstone: only 20% of raw stones mined -- a diamond's best natural qualities are highlighted.
A bag full of industrial diamonds -- the remaining 80% of mined diamonds -- appear to be 'dirty rocks'.
