0.40 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent yellowish green peridot of 0.40 carat, oval shape, with dimensions 5.97 x 4.20 x 2.15 mm, represents a rare balance of color clarity and cut that will make any jewelry design sing. Cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style with an excellent polish, this gem returns light with a lively sparkle that rivals many larger stones, and its medium color intensity offers a vivid green tone without veering overly yellow or olive. Compared to commonly available peridots, this Ceylon origin specimen stands out for being eye clean at normal viewing distances, which gives the gem a clean window into its color and internal fire, a benefit not often found in emeralds of similar hue that frequently show heavy inclusions. In contrast to treated or heat enhanced green gems on the market, this stone is completely natural with no enhancement, a point that collectors and discerning clients will appreciate when they want authenticity linked to provenance and value.

When placed in a ring, pendant, or delicate earring, the peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company has the kind of vibrant color that takes center stage. The mixed brilliant cut enhances scintillation in smaller carat weights, so settings that allow light to enter from multiple angles will amplify the gem more than many other greens of comparable size. Against warm metals like yellow gold or rose gold the yellowish green will glow with a fresh sunshine quality, while white gold or platinum will sharpen the green and make the stone read as a cooler, more contemporary hue. Compared to green garnets and lower clarity emerald alternatives, this Sri Lanka peridot delivers superior eye appeal for custom and fine jewelry while offering excellent value per carat. For designers and clients seeking a standout accent stone or a refined solitaire under one carat, this piece is a top choice, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind its description and selection with careful evaluation and responsible sourcing. If you prefer a setting recommendation or a visual mock up, I am ready to advise on metals and mounting styles that will showcase this peridot to its fullest advantage.
