0.16 Ct. Peridot

Discover an exceptionally rare pear shaped peridot, a luminous 0.16 carat treasure that speaks to collectors and connoisseurs who seek something genuinely uncommon. This gem presents a refined yellowish green tone with medium color intensity, a tone that is fresh yet understated, capturing light with a serene, verdant glow. Cut to a mixed brilliant style, the faceting has been executed to maximize scintillation from its compact 4.15 by 3.10 by 2.01 millimeter dimensions, creating a play of light that belies its petite size. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in a stone of this caliber reads as natural character rather than flaw, a fingerprint of the earth that affirms authenticity. The polish on this piece is excellent, the facets whispering with every turn, and there has been no enhancement of any kind, preserving the stone in its pure, unaltered state. For those who understand nuance, a 0.16 carat gem like this in a pear silhouette offers a balance of delicate presence and undeniable personality, perfect for a bespoke pendant, a refined ring setting, or as a cherished addition to a curated collection.

The provenance of a gemstone often defines its narrative and its market value, and origin stories can be as evocative as the stones themselves. Peridot has been sourced historically from storied locales, islands and ancient mines that lend provenance an almost mythic quality, and collectors frequently prize gems with traceable lineage from celebrated regions. In this instance, the origin of this peridot is unknown, a detail that transforms provenance into mystique. An unknown origin invites imagination, allowing the beholder to conceive of volcanic cradles, hidden alluvial deposits, or remote pockets within rugged terrain where nature produced a gem of singular tone and clarity. That very uncertainty becomes a form of exclusivity, because no other gem carries the same untold story, and because it resists easy classification it appeals to those who prize rarity not only in physical traits but in narrative. For a discerning buyer, the combination of natural, untreated status, excellent polish, a precise mixed brilliant cut, and an enigmatic origin elevates this peridot beyond mere ornament, into the realm of objects treasured for their individuality and their capacity to provoke conversation.
