Color Change - Peridot Green to Gold Beryl Cubic Zirconia - $.16/carat
Locality: USA

 

This is a pretty Peridot green and changes to gold with redish highlights. The color change in this material is pretty dramatic and makes an interesting cut stone.

Cubic Zirconia needs to be polished with diamonds, these colors (except for the dark red) can be cut in just about any design. Although tempting because of price and color, I do not recommend this material for a new cutter, it is a bit tough to cut and polish for a novice.

Note: I am giving approximate Length/Width (L/W) ratios and general shape outlines. You can of course cut a square into a rounds and a rectangle into an oval and so on... A 100 carat square piece of CZ is about 16 -18 mm in size (or about dime size).

Currently Available:
1 each 322.0 carats - $51.51 green to redish gold color change, best cut rectangles/squares (appox.) L/W=3.0
