Natural Green Peridot Rough · 1.479 ct · For Faceting

This natural Peridot rough weighs 1.479 carats and is presented as facet-quality material with high potential for individual cutting. The specimen combines an attractive natural green colour with a transparent appearance, allowing good visual assessment of the usable material before faceting.

Measuring approximately 7.3 × 4.9 × 4.2 mm, the rough has favourable proportions for orientation and preforming. Its available depth and elongated natural form provide useful flexibility when selecting the final cutting direction, while supporting efficient weight retention.

The material displays a pleasing green colour and good transparency, both of which contribute positively to its faceting potential. The relatively clean appearance allows internal characteristics and structural features to be evaluated before cutting, helping the cutter select the most favourable orientation and avoid unnecessary loss of usable material.

Its high faceting potential is supported by the combination of transparent material, balanced dimensions, useful depth and good colour. These characteristics provide scope for producing a well-proportioned finished gemstone with attractive optical performance, subject to the natural inclusions, fissures and growth features present within the rough.

Peridot is the gem-quality green variety of olivine, with its characteristic colour resulting primarily from iron within the mineral structure. Unlike many coloured gemstones, Peridot is commonly encountered without colour-enhancing 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 with all natural rough gemstones, minor inclusions, fine internal fissures, growth features and surface irregularities may occur. These characteristics should be considered during orientation, preforming and final cutting.

With its 1.479 ct weight, transparent green material and favourable proportions, this Peridot rough offers strong potential for efficient orientation, good weight retention and the production of an attractive individually faceted gemstone.
