Natural Green Peridot Rough · 1.146 ct · For Faceting

This individually documented natural Peridot rough weighs 1.146 carats and is presented as facet-quality material suitable for faceting, lapidary work or use in rough gemstone jewellery.

Measuring approximately 5.9 × 5.6 × 4.8 mm, the specimen has a compact natural form with useful depth for evaluating orientation, potential yield and the most appropriate final application.

The material displays an attractive natural green colour with a transparent appearance, allowing the cutter to assess internal characteristics, colour distribution and usable material before planning the finished gemstone.

For faceting, careful orientation is important to balance colour retention, optical performance and weight recovery. Natural inclusions, fine fissures and the original crystal form should all be considered when determining the final shape and facet design.

The specimen is also suitable for rough gemstone jewellery, where its natural form can remain part of the final design. In this application, the irregular surface and geological character of the material become intentional visual features rather than characteristics to be removed through cutting.

Peridot is the gem-quality green variety of olivine and is valued for its characteristic yellowish-green to green colour. Its colour is inherent to the mineral composition, and 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 a natural rough gemstone, internal inclusions, fine fissures, growth features and surface irregularities may occur. These characteristics form part of the geological history and individual identity of the specimen and should be considered during cutting, setting or jewellery design.

With its 1.146 ct weight, transparent green material and compact natural form, this Peridot offers versatile potential for either individual faceting or a jewellery design that preserves the original character of the rough gemstone.
