Natural Green Peridot Rough · 1.651 ct · For Faceting

This natural Peridot rough weighs 1.651 carats and is presented as high-quality facet rough with strong potential for individual cutting. The specimen combines an attractive natural green colour with a transparent appearance and favourable dimensions for orientation, preforming and weight retention.

Measuring approximately 7.5 × 6.2 × 5.7 mm, the rough has substantial depth relative to its overall size. This provides the cutter with considerable flexibility when selecting the final orientation and makes the material suitable for a wide range of possible finished shapes.

The specimen shows good transparency and an appealing green colour, allowing the internal structure and usable material to be assessed before cutting. Its balanced proportions and available depth support efficient planning while leaving significant freedom to optimise the final design.

A key advantage of this specimen is its high faceting potential without a strong shape limitation. The relatively balanced dimensions allow the cutter to consider multiple finished outlines rather than being forced into one specific shape by an unusually thin, narrow or strongly elongated rough form. The final design can therefore be selected according to the internal structure, colour distribution and desired weight retention.

Peridot is the gem-quality green variety of olivine, with its characteristic colour resulting primarily from iron within the mineral structure. Its green colour is inherent to the material rather than dependent on artificial colour enhancement.

This specimen is recorded as unheated and untreated, with no gemstone enhancement documented for the material. Its colour, transparency and natural 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 should be assessed during orientation and preforming to achieve the most favourable combination of finished size, proportions and optical performance.

With its 1.651 ct weight, transparent green material, substantial depth and balanced proportions, this Peridot rough offers the cutter considerable freedom in both orientation and final shape selection. It is an attractive choice for anyone seeking versatile Peridot rough with strong potential for a distinctive finished gemstone.
