Low-grade diamond.
This is a low-grade 2.71ct natural diamond. It's quite large as diamonds go, but only semi-transparent and therefore worth astronomically less than you might think: Only about $100. It's also no longer of this world, because I burned it up during shooting for my Popular Science article about how to burn up diamonds.
