Raw Carbonado Rough Stones

Raw carbonado rough stones are unprocessed polycrystalline diamonds extracted from alluvial deposits, featuring their characteristic black, opaque appearance. Classified under HTS 7102.21.10.10 as miner's carbonados, they are industrial-grade and not suitable for jewelry due to impurities. Ideal for further processing into abrasives or high-pressure tools.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include geological reports specifying carbonado type to distinguish from synthetic polycrystalline diamonds

Ensure CITES compliance if sourced from regions with export restrictions on natural diamonds

Avoid common pitfall of undervaluation; carbonados command premium pricing despite industrial grade
