Natural Green Peridot Rough · 2.189 ct · For Faceting

This individually documented natural Peridot rough weighs 2.189 carats and is presented as facet-quality material suitable for lapidary evaluation and potential faceting. The specimen displays an attractive natural green colour with a transparent appearance, giving the material strong potential for a finished gemstone.

Measuring approximately 6.8 × 6.7 × 5.4 mm, the rough has a compact but relatively deep form that provides useful material for assessing orientation, potential yield and the most appropriate final cutting design.

The material is transparent, allowing the cutter to evaluate internal characteristics, colour distribution and usable depth before faceting. Its good green colour is an important positive feature, as colour retention and evenness will play a major role in the final appearance of the finished Peridot.

When evaluating Peridot rough for faceting, careful consideration should be given to natural inclusions, internal fissures, crystal shape and the relationship between weight retention and optical performance. Proper orientation can help maximise usable yield while preserving attractive colour and transparency.

Peridot is the gem-quality green variety of olivine and is valued for its characteristic yellowish-green to green colour. Unlike many gemstones, Peridot is commonly encountered without colour-enhancing treatment, and its natural green colour is inherent to the mineral composition.

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 2.189 ct weight, attractive green colour, transparent body and useful depth, this natural Peridot rough offers promising potential for individual faceting. Its natural form provides the cutter with the opportunity to balance colour retention, optical performance and efficient use of the available material.
