0.33 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional pear shape peridot is a rare offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, a small and carefully curated treasure that will appeal to those who value singular beauty, provenance, and uncompromising quality. We present a transparent 0.33 carat gem, with exact dimensions of 6.04 x 4.02 x 2.69 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant fashion to maximize scintillation and light return, graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. This peridot has received no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a classic locality known for producing peridot with pure, lively greens. Stones of this size and clarity, with such saturated natural color and a precision mixed brilliant cut, are infrequent, which makes this piece an invitation to own something that only a select few will possess.

When comparing brilliance to more common green gemstones, this peridot stands apart in several meaningful ways. Unlike emerald, which often displays a deeper, more bluish green and commonly contains visible inclusions that are sometimes treated with oil to improve appearance, this peridot offers an immediate, crisp burst of lime green that reads fresh and luminous to the eye. The refractive character of peridot combined with the mixed brilliant cut gives this stone a lively, lively sparkle that reveals a lively interplay of flashes and internal light, a different type of fire than that of higher refractive index gems such as diamond and sapphire. Diamond has unmatched brilliance and scintillation because of its very high refractive index and dispersion, and sapphire offers a denser, more velvety sheen, however this peridot projects a vitality and transparency that is rare among green gems. Against common green alternatives like green quartz or typical tourmaline, this peridot is more vivid, more saturated, and more lively, because it is naturally vivid in color, eye clean, and superbly polished. The result is a gemstone that catches light with immediate clarity, displaying internal reflections and facet flashes that feel both energetic and refined.

This peridot is also notable for its wearability and versatility, and for the quiet luxury it confers when set within a bespoke design. With a Mohs hardness that sits around 6.5 to 7, peridot requires sensible care, however in the hands of a skilled jeweler it makes a striking center stone for a pendant, a delicate ring for occasional wear, or a refined pair of bespoke earrings, where its pear shape and brilliant facets will dance in motion. Because this stone is natural, untreated, and from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it carries a story of origin that few mass market gemstones can claim, and its status as an unenhanced gem elevates it above many green stones that require treatments to reach similar visual effects. At The Natural Gemstone Company we hand select each specimen, and we emphasize limited availability. Owning this peridot is not merely a purchase, it is an admission into a very small circle of collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate the rarity of eye clean clarity, vivid saturation, and masterful cutting in a natural peridot.

For the discerning buyer who seeks a singular statement piece, this pear shaped peridot is offered as a private, exclusive acquisition through The Natural Gemstone Company, and it is presented with full transparency about its origin and condition. We will assist with bespoke setting recommendations that honor the stone, suggesting metal choices and design balances that enhance the lively green and scintillating facets without overpowering them. This peridot will appeal to those who favor authentic, natural gems, who prefer a fresh and vivid green over familiar deep hues, and who understand that true rarity is defined by the combination of natural origin, eye clean clarity, vivid color, and expert cutting. If you wish to own a gem that stands apart from more common greens, and to join an intimate group of collectors who prioritize provenance and purity, this peridot awaits your consideration.
