A great source of info on Polki Diamonds is from a Vogue article here:

"Polki is an uncut and unpolished diamond, used in its natural form without any physical or chemical treatment. Often retained in their original rough version, they have a non-faceted polished surface, and are generally cut to follow the original structure of the stone. This is why no two pieces are alike, making each polki distinctive and unique. It is, in fact, one of the oldest forms of cut diamonds, originating in India long before western cutting methods were born. Since they are the purest form of diamonds available, polkis are extremely expensive. The fact that these designs are often enhanced with precious stones and pearls add to its value as well."
