Fuli Gemstones Debuts ‘Aura Cut’
The miner unveiled its newest peridot cut at the recent Hong Kong show.
Fuli Gemstones’ new “Aura Cut” is a round cut with 101 facets.
Hong Kong—China-based peridot miner Fuli Gemstones introduced a new gem cut last month at the HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show.
Presented in celebration of the Lunar New Year, the new “Aura Cut” is a round cut with a total of 101 facets.
A traditional round brilliant cut has 58 facets, with 33 facets on the crown (top half of the stone) and 25 facets on the pavilion (lower half of the stone).
For the “Aura Cut,” the crown has 37 facets, with nine facets in each of the four sections plus the table. The pavilion has 64 facets, with 16 facets in each of the four sections.
Peridot from the Fuli mine, located in northeastern China near the Changbai Mountains, has a light, bright green hue due to a lower content of iron, which is responsible for peridot’s color intensity.
The new cut’s name was chosen as a reflection of the energy the gemstone emits when observed, Fuli said, a positive energy achieved by combining its “distinctive green” peridot with the cutting innovation required for the “Aura Cut.”

The new cut’s name was chosen as a reflection of the energy the gemstone emits when observed, Fuli said, a positive energy achieved by combining its “distinctive green” peridot with the cutting innovation required for the “Aura Cut.”
“Quantum physicists discovered physical atoms are made up of vortices of energy, which are constantly spinning and vibrating, each one radiating its own unique energy signature,” Fuli said.
“Light is a visible form of radiant energy that travels in waves. It is the only form of energy that can be seen by the human eye.”
Pia Tonna, executive director and chief marketing officer for Fuli Gemstones, added, “Here at Fuli, we love the positive energy the peridot gemstone gives us; we hope others benefit from the same energy too.”
Fuli previously unveiled its “Fuli Cut,” a new take on an antique cushion cut, in September of last year, at the Jewellery & Gem World Hong Kong show.
