Rough or slab is gemstone material in its natural state prior to cutting, finishing, polishing or faceting. Suppliers in this category are often miners, individual lapidarists, or firms closely connected to mining operations, who sell online to the general public.
Rough is often further described as either facet or cab depending upon its suitability for finishing - facet rough being typically translucent with minimum impurities, and cab rough being generally opaque.
