Description

This natural peridot crystal from Pakistan displays the fresh green color and bright transparency that have made fine peridot one of the most popular gemstones for precision faceting. Its generous size and natural crystal form make it an excellent piece of facet-grade rough, offering the opportunity to create a striking finished gemstone with exceptional presence.

Weighing 16.50 carats, this crystal provides abundant material for a wide range of cutting styles. With an estimated 80% facetable volume, a substantial portion of the original rough can be retained while allowing the cutter to optimize the design for brilliance, symmetry, and final size. Its proportions make it suitable for classic cuts such as oval, cushion, or emerald, as well as more elaborate custom faceting designs.

The crystal is transparent with slight natural inclusions, features commonly found in untreated peridot that reflect its natural formation. When carefully oriented during the cutting process, the finished gemstone has the potential to display vivid color, lively brilliance, and an elegant appearance that makes peridot such a distinctive member of the gemstone family.

Pakistan is internationally recognized for producing some of the world’s finest peridot crystals, valued for their intense natural color and excellent transparency. This untreated specimen represents that quality, combining generous size with excellent faceting potential to provide an exciting opportunity for gem cutters and collectors alike.

Whether destined for a custom jewelry project or a precision-cut gemstone collection, this crystal offers an appealing balance of natural beauty, cutting potential, and impressive dimensions.
