0.45 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Discover an object of quiet power and refined rarity, a transparent 0.45 carat emerald cut green peridot, a gem that speaks to discerning taste and the quiet confidence of true elegance. Cut to precise proportions of 5.93 x 3.90 x 2.38 mm, this peridot carries a medium color intensity that is both fresh and sophisticated, a luminous green that sits between citrus clarity and verdant calm. The step cut, known as an emerald cut, allows the color to present with serene depth, while the excellent polish ensures each facet reads as a mirror of light. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this peridot is free of enhancement, an unaltered testimony to nature and provenance, and it is graded at very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity that confirms authenticity without diminishing the gem s refined allure.

The inclusions within this peridot are not flaws to be hidden, but signatures to be celebrated. Very slight inclusions, visible at eye level under careful viewing, act as the stone s biography, subtle markers of the geological journey that created it. In peridot these characteristics most often take the form of minuscule mineral crystals, faint wisps, and tiny healed fissures, each feature a natural fingerprint that distinguishes this gem from every other. Rather than detracting, these delicate internal features add character and provenance, offering connoisseurs the rare pleasure of a gem that records its origin. For the collector who values authenticity, the presence of such inclusions is a virtue, proof that the green glow is born of the earth, preserved without intervention, and presented with all the quiet dignity of a naturally formed treasure.

The emerald cut enhances the peridot s innate beauty in a way that only a masterful cut can achieve, creating a cadence of broad, clean facets that emphasize tone and clarity over scintillation. The result is a sophisticated visual drama, a hall of luminous planes that allow the medium green to breathe with depth and poise. With dimensions that favor proportion and wearability, this gem will sit gracefully in both contemporary and classic designs, offering versatility to the jeweler and wearer alike. Imagine this stone set in a sculpted yellow gold bezel that warms its green heart, or mounted in a cool white metal that amplifies its pristine transparency. The excellent polish intensifies each facet edge, ensuring every movement catches the eye with smooth, satiny reflections, while the stone s honest clarity gives a canvas for design that speaks of restraint, good taste, and an appreciation for natural beauty.

To own this peridot is to claim a piece of provenance and personal distinction, a small but potent symbol of achievement curated by The Natural Gemstone Company. Unenhanced, responsibly sourced from Ceylon, and cut to exacting standards, it is an intimate rarity that will translate effortlessly into an heirloom of your making.

We invite you to consider not only the gem s visual attributes, but the story embedded within its inclusions, the skilled hand that fashioned its facets, and the provenance that assures its authenticity.
