unfaceted

Lacking carved planes

Unfaceted describes something without facets—the flat, polished surfaces cut into gemstones or other objects.

An unfaceted stone retains its natural, rounded form rather than the angular planes of a cut diamond.

The term extends to anything lacking distinct aspects or dimensions: an unfaceted analysis misses the complexity of its subject.
