Your question is about a raw diamond.

A raw diamond must be evaluated for its natural colour and clarity. Then you can work with a diamond cutter to estimate the value of a cut diamond that can be 'rescued' from the raw diamond. The diamond cutter may offer to purchase the raw stone, or work out another arrangement with you for its ultimate value.

Typically more than 50% of the carat weight of a raw diamond is lost during the cutting process.
