Cut Facts


The determining factors that give a gemstone its quality and value are made according to the rules of the "4 Cs": Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight.

In its natural state Peridot is termed as being rough. Depending on its quality, gem standard Peridot can go one of two ways: highly included Peridot goes to be cut ‘En Cabochon’ or as beads, higher quality gem material goes to get faceted. Once it has been cut it is termed as being faceted: a facet is one cut. A well-cut faceted gemstone reflects light back evenly across its surface area when held face up.

The brilliance of a cut depends on the luster and the initial clarity of the gemstone: whether or not it had many visible inclusions.

The objective of a good cutter is to optimize a gems beauty, desirability and value. A good, well-proportioned cut will bring out the true potential of a Peridot. Paramount is the skill of the cutter and his knowledge of positioning and angling facets, so light reflects internally to produce what is termed ‘Maximum Brilliance’.

A Peridot’s cut comes down to personal preference. Only imagination restricts the cuts and shapes, with anything from striking fantasy cuts to tumbled beads being executed. Furthermore, as Peridot is not too expensive, cutters can spotlight the beauty more than weight retention. Meaning that superior cutting, proportions and symmetry can be bought at very affordable prices. With this in mind it is advised that you stay away from malformed native cut Peridots, except if they are cheap enough to recut later in better proportions.


Very rarely highly included Peridot exhibits a star effect known as ‘Asterism’, this effect is enhanced when a gemstone is cut and polished ‘En Cabochon’: a dome cut with a flat bottom. The ‘Asterism’ effect is caused by two or more sets of tiny parallel inclusions, known as ‘Rutile’ or ‘Silk’, running the internal length of the gem and intersecting at differing angles with each other causing the reflected light to form a star like formation across the gems face. Star Peridot is stunning and quite rare commanding prices comparable with large sized faceted Peridot gemstones.

A Peridot possesses a hardness of 6.5 – 7 out of 10 on the Moh’s Scale, with a ‘Vitreous’ glassy luster.
