Natural Green Peridot Rough · 5.708 ct · For Faceting

This certified natural Peridot rough weighs 5.708 carats and is presented as facet-quality material with substantial size and useful proportions for individual cutting. The specimen displays a clear natural green colour and a transparent to translucent appearance, offering the cutter considerable material for orientation and yield planning.

Measuring approximately 11.7 × 10.0 × 5.8 mm, the rough provides a broad face and useful depth. These dimensions offer flexibility when selecting the cutting orientation and final gemstone shape, with scope to balance colour distribution, clarity, optical performance and weight retention.

The material shows a pleasing clear-green colour characteristic of natural Peridot. Because the specimen is translucent rather than fully transparent, careful examination of internal characteristics is important before cutting. Orientation should be selected to make the best use of the clearer areas while avoiding or minimising natural fissures, inclusions or structural features that could influence the finished gemstone.

Its relatively substantial 5.708 ct rough weight is particularly advantageous for faceting, as it provides greater freedom for preforming and shape selection than smaller rough specimens. Final yield will depend on the internal structure, orientation chosen and the amount of material that must be removed during preforming and polishing.

Peridot is the gem-quality green variety of olivine, with its natural green colour resulting primarily from iron within the mineral structure rather than from an artificial colour treatment.

This specimen is recorded as unheated and untreated. Its natural colour and internal characteristics are therefore presented without documented gemstone enhancement.

As with all natural rough material, inclusions, internal fissures, growth features and surface irregularities may be present. These characteristics form part of the specimen’s geological identity and should be carefully assessed when determining the optimal cutting plan.

With its substantial 5.708 ct weight, useful depth and broad natural form, this Peridot rough offers considerable scope for orientation, preforming and individual facet design. Its faceting potential lies primarily in the amount of usable material available and the flexibility it provides for selecting the most favourable cutting direction.
