Natural Green Peridot Rough · 1.235 ct · For Faceting

This individually documented natural green Peridot rough weighs 1.235 carats and is presented as facet-quality material suitable for lapidary evaluation and potential faceting. The specimen displays an attractive natural green colour, good transparency and a pleasing natural luster.

Measuring approximately 8.3 × 4.9 × 4.2 mm, this rough gemstone provides usable depth and material for evaluating the most appropriate orientation, final shape and faceting design. Its natural form allows the cutter to balance colour, transparency, internal characteristics and expected cutting yield.

The material is transparent, an important characteristic for faceting potential. Good transparency allows light to travel effectively through the rough and provides the basis for producing an attractive finished gemstone when orientation and cutting are carefully planned.

The specimen also shows good green colour and luster, contributing positively to its potential as faceting material. When evaluating rough Peridot, particular attention should be given to colour distribution, internal inclusions, fractures, available depth and the orientation required to maximise both optical performance and usable yield.

Peridot is the gem-quality green variety of olivine and is valued for its characteristic yellowish-green to deeper green colour range. Unlike many gemstones, Peridot’s colour is inherent to its mineral composition rather than commonly produced through treatment.

This specimen is recorded as unheated and untreated, with no gemstone enhancement documented for the material. Its colour, transparency and internal characteristics are therefore presented in their naturally recorded state.

As a natural rough gemstone, the specimen may display internal inclusions, fine fissures, growth features or surface irregularities. These characteristics form part of the geological history of the material and should be carefully considered during orientation and cutting.

With its attractive green colour, transparent body and good natural luster, this 1.235 ct natural Peridot rough offers promising potential for individual faceting. Its compact dimensions provide the cutter with the opportunity to plan a finished gemstone around colour retention, optical performance and efficient use of the available material.
