Is diamonds a raw material?

How much is a 10.75 carat natural uncut white diamond worth?
Any raw diamond must be seen to be evaluated for its value, because so much will be lost when the stone is cut and faceted. You have the total carat weight of the uncut stone, and you've indicated that the diamond is 'white', but the clarity and the grade of white will determine ultimately how high the final owner can price the cut stone. Find a certified gemologist who will help you evaluate a raw diamond, and potentially, who can direct you to a reputable diamond cutter.
What are Asscher cut diamonds?
Asscher is a cut of diamond favored if the colour and clarity are superior and the raw diamond is fairly large. Cutting and polishing a diamond loses about 60% of its carat weight. Although any size raw diamond can be cut this way. From the Diamond Pro web site, this is a description of the Asscher cut: "Depth is 60% to 68% -- under 65% is relatively hard to find; table is 60% to 68%, polish/ symmetry is good, very good or excellent, and the length/ width ratio is 1.00 to 1.05 according to the GIA acceptable range for defining a diamond as a square [cut]."
What are the two differences between the structure of carbon nanotube and the structure of diamond?
Two basic differences would be obviously innate size and structure.SizeDiamonds -- as we know them as humans -- can be small, as small as 1/100th of a carat (one point) when processed. There may be smaller raw diamond stones, but they are generally commercially viable as industrial diamond dust.Nanotubes -- are 1/50,000th the width of a human hair, considerably smaller than a (commercial) diamond or perhaps even diamond dust grains.StructureDiamonds are cubic in their structure and in raw form appear triangular or as two pyramids attached at the base.Nanotubes naturally align themselves as ropes.
