This individually documented natural Peridot rough weighs 2.295 carats and is presented as facet-quality rough for faceting material suitable for lapidary evaluation and potential faceting. The specimen displays an attractive natural green colour with a transparent appearance, giving the rough promising potential for a finished gemstone.
Measuring approximately 10.1 × 6.5 × 4.5 mm, the specimen has an elongated natural 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 available depth before faceting. Its good green colour is an important positive feature, as successful orientation can help preserve both colour presence and transparency in the finished stone.
When evaluating Peridot rough for faceting, the relationship between colour, transparency, internal characteristics, available material and potential yield is particularly important. Natural inclusions, fine fissures and the original shape of the rough should all be considered when determining the final orientation and facet design.
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 natural 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, the specimen may display inclusions, internal growth features, fine fissures 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 2.295 ct weight, attractive green colour, transparent body and elongated natural form, this Peridot rough offers good potential for individual faceting. Its dimensions provide the cutter with flexibility to balance colour retention, optical performance and efficient use of the available material.
