21.27 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Peridot Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company presents a matched pair of transparent green peridots from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, weighing 10.92 carats and 10.35 carats respectively. Each stone is oval in shape with mixed brilliant cut facets, the larger measuring 17.97 by 10.74 by 7.38 millimeters and the smaller measuring 17.99 by 10.72 by 7.01 millimeters. Clarity is graded eye clean evaluated at eye level, with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. Enhancement status no enhancement. The combination of substantial size, strong green saturation, and precise cutting produces an immediate visual presence while maintaining optical purity typical of fine Sri Lankan peridot.

The mixed brilliant cut in these stones combines a faceting scheme that maximizes both broad area light return and dynamic pinpoint scintillation, producing a range of reflections from even luminous planes to lively flashes. Because both stones share virtually identical proportions and symmetry, their facet patterns respond to light in a complementary way, so that broad internal reflections align across the pair while smaller flashes alternate with movement. The eye clean clarity permits unobstructed passage of light into the pavilion and back through the crown, allowing color to remain vivid rather than being muted by inclusions. Excellent polish enhances surface reflectivity, producing crisp facet junctions that act as small mirrors and increase perceived brightness. When set together, the stones reinforce each other visually, with matching green tones and synchronized scintillation creating a cohesive field of light, and the contrast between larger luminous areas and finer flashes adds depth and liveliness. These characteristics make the pair particularly suited to matched settings where parallel optical behavior and balanced reflections are required, while the absence of enhancements affirms their natural origin and unaltered optical properties.
