Beautiful cut, Cliff. That piece of peridot is beautiful. I'll admit to holding my breath when you were working on the crown... You made it look easy. Thanks my friend.
Cliff, I'm glad to see your fantastic videos again, thanks . Only once I had the opportunity to cut peridot, there were no problems behaved beautifully, the only problem was due to the inclusion of 0.7ct I got final 0.15ct
I so look forward to viewing your videos. I am sadly the sole facetor at our gem club at the moment as membership has dropped due to Covid and other factors. Therefore I watch all of your videos to get fresh ideas and to learn some finer points from you. Cheers Wendy
Further to my comment. I have tried unsuccessfully to preform by hand like you and appreciated the comment about the grit on the lap to use when preforming.
Peridot is my Birthstone and yet it's my worst gem for faceting. I always find that it seems to have "directional hardness" causing 2 or 3 facets to always scratch when prepolishing/polishing. I have since pretty much overcome this issue but Peridot can be finicky.
I've been checking out your videos for a few years and always thought you are a professional. anyway im not here to learn how to cut stones. I just love pretty rocks. keep it up
Thanks for this video. I need yo cut a pear shape peridot for a ring my son wants to give his girlfriend. And I need to find some rough. Any recommendations? And also any reason why peridot fog up after some time of wearing? Thanks for you videos. I love them!!!
I would do a search to find the laps on ebay and find the lowest price here's a link- www.ebay.com.au/itm/284377848179?hash=item42363d9973:g:fnUAAOSwjFliODhl&frcectupt=true
sorry Cliff I have to disagree with it being one of the easiest stones to facet, because there can be a soft side and a hard side which makes it easy to over cut so care has to be taken with regards to pressures used for each facet it is not on all stones but just be aware of this.
hello, Ilike to ask you if you feel learning a complete laymen how to cut gemstones, Idont know anything about cutting gemstones but it, Idont have my equipment yet but Im realy looking into buing one very soon.Thank you already in advance and I hope to hrar from you soon, by the way I M a belgian guy. i m realy looking into it
Great job Cliff. I also enjoy cutting Peridot. Beautiful gemstone!
Thanks Mike. I would like to facet more peridot. Obtaining sizable rough can be an issue to obtain in Australia.
Beautiful cut, Cliff. That piece of peridot is beautiful. I'll admit to holding my breath when you were working on the crown... You made it look easy. Thanks my friend.
Thanks John...The crown was not easy, but I'm happy with the end result.

Thank you for the great videos!
Wow, what a fire! Thanks for sharing Cliff!!
Turned out nice and bright. Regards Cliff
Well done, you had less trouble then I did with my peridot!
Thanks. I find peridot easy enough to facet, similar to Topaz.
Another great video, and beautiful stone. You make an excellent point about laps.
Cliff I love what you do. The result is fantastic I dream of cutting a peridot always loved it
One of my Favourite Stone Peridot Even We Have Many peridot
Nice. I've got an Esquel with similar facets that I purchased several years ago at the Westward Look Gem Show.
Beautiful
Thanks
Beautiful work 👏🏻 I'm from Pakistan. Should I buy Pakistani peridot it's my birthstone.
I love these videos and I hope I can learn how to facet soon :) so inspiring
Showzaço 👍👍👍👍

Nice facet, however that did not look like the Pakistan peridot that I am used to, it seems more yellowish?
Thanks for this video. I need yo cut a pear shape peridot for a ring my son wants to give his girlfriend. And I need to find some rough. Any recommendations? And also any reason why peridot fog up after some time of wearing? Thanks for you videos. I love them!!!

Thanks Cliff. Another great clip. Dont suppose you can supply the details for where to buy laps on ebay?

Hi, Watched a few of yr videos - wondered what equipment you use ? Facetor etc let me know - thanks Paul
Beatifull stone Cliff! Can you tell me the difference between peridot and olivine, if any? I see you bought the same pack of discs as I!
The thinks it's the same. Olivine tends to be a granular often looks like a green sand once broken down.
sorry Cliff I have to disagree with it being one of the easiest stones to facet, because there can be a soft side and a hard side which makes it easy to over cut so care has to be taken with regards to pressures used for each facet it is not on all stones but just be aware of this.
I've never had an issue with peridot. It has a soft feeling whilst cutting.
Hi..gem man..
i want to sell a lot of peridot. The color is very beautiful and carats are 20 40 65 etc.
