A selection of diamonds, cubic and octahedral
A rough diamond is a diamond rock which has not been cut or processed. They come in a variety of naturally occurring shapes including octahedrons (eight sided bi-pyramid), cubic and triangular (most commonly macles).
A raw diamond or rough diamond can also be a type of diamond which is not fully developed or can have less brilliance. Extreme heat and pressure beneath the ground make the carbon atoms fuse in a specific structure.[1]
