Oval Faceted Peridot Gemstone

This specimen is a faceted loose gemstone, identified by its characteristic lime or olive-green hue as a peridot. The stone is cut in an oval shape with a modified brilliant or step-cut crown, though the facet symmetry appears somewhat irregular, suggesting a commercial or hand-cut quality rather than precision machine cutting. The color saturation is moderate with yellowish secondary tones, typical of magnesium-rich olivine minerals. In terms of physical condition, the stone exhibits notable surface wear, including multiple abrasions on the facet junctions and a significant chip or rough texture along the girdle edge, which is visible even without magnification. There are small internal inclusions or surface-reaching feathers located near the bottom facet. The stone rests on a textured black surface, highlighting its vitreous luster and transparency. No maker's marks or laser inscriptions are visible on the girdle. Based on the facet wear and general appearance, the stone may have been previously set in a piece of jewelry before being removed for inspection. Its overall quality is indicative of a mid-range decorative gemstone rather than a high-end investment-grade piece.
