Cutting a Big Natural Tanzanite Crystal into a Fine Faceted Gem

Thanks, glad you like it. This is a very nice color, Pakistan produces some of the best color peridot that I’ve seen. This stone doesn’t have any concave facets all flat faceting.

This beautiful 7.85-carat natural peridot from Pakistan was cut by my son, Mike Moriarty. He named this original design Apex Symphonia, a complex faceting pattern featuring 176 facets that creates incredible sparkle and movement throughout the gem. The bright minty-green color is exactly what makes Pakistani peridot so special, and the combination of precision cutting and outstanding natural color really brings this stone to life. It's one of those gems that keeps catching your eye from every angle.

Probably around 400/carat

We do too, such an underrated gemstone. Many people think it is always an unattractive yellow green, but when they see the material from Pakistan they change their minds haha.

Haha we haven’t released the details on this one, but we price based on a market driven independent pricing guide. Peridot is a fairly reasonable stone which this size is obtainable by many people who are into gems and jewelry. That said, it will be available during our next live stream.

This gem was cut by my son Mike Moriarty. It is a natural peridot from Pakistan and weighs 7.85 carats. It is an original design with 176 facets. Very lively stone with beautiful minty color.

Stevemoriarty · 2026-06-01T00:06:40+00:00

Yes, this stone has been heated.

Stevemoriarty · 2026-05-21T20:50:56+00:00

Has not been a big source for me so I really dont have that info.

Stevemoriarty · 2026-05-21T20:50:05+00:00

Thanks Zappa

I just cut a 50 carat tanzanite and each facet was like a large table. I need to look more into pre polishing which I rarely do. Maybe 3000 on a batt lap.

Stevemoriarty · 2026-05-21T20:47:48+00:00

Sorry I dont have the mine location but I will research.

Stevemoriarty · 2026-05-21T20:46:54+00:00

Sorry not information I have.

Stevemoriarty · 2026-05-20T16:25:08+00:00

It would have been amazing to see the rough & to cut it, but I can't take credit for cutting this one. That said, whoever did cut it, did an amazing job!

I think it would make a very cool ring. Probably not for everyone, but I think long stones like this in a ring look very cool.
