Very variable - some just look like lumps of dirty stone, while others have a visible octahedral shape and plenty of sparkle. Some look like little sugar cubes. The reference below has some photos of specimen examples. The largest diamond ever found (The Cullinan or Premier Diamond) appeared pretty unspectacular as it had no crystal faces and an eroded surface - see the second reference for a picture.
