0.45 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This beautiful transparent 0.45 carat round shape lime green peridot measures 5.16 x 5.26 x 2.27 mm, and it exemplifies exceptional cut and brilliance as a centerpiece in any collection. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, which combines a faceting pattern designed to maximize face up brightness with pavilion geometry that enhances scintillation and lively light return. The stone displays a medium intense lime green color that is characteristic of high quality peridot, and its excellent polish contributes to a crisp, reflective surface that intensifies perceived color and sparkle. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, indicating minor inclusions that do not detract from overall transparency or visual appeal. There has been no enhancement, and the natural origin from Pakistan adds provenance that discerning collectors and designers value. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind this specimen as an unenhanced, well cut example of Pakistani peridot.

For the educated buyer seeking a combination of aesthetic performance and sound gemological attributes, this peridot presents clear advantages. The mixed brilliant cut is specifically advantageous for peridot because it balances color saturation with light performance, producing strong return of light and dynamic faceting even at a modest 0.45 carat weight. The very slightly included clarity grade when observed at eye level means the stone reads as clean in mounted jewelry, while the measured dimensions and excellent polish ensure predictable setting behavior and minimal post setting finishing. Origin matters in valuation, and Pakistani peridot is known for its vivid, pure green tones that often lack the brownish overtones seen in lesser material. The absence of enhancements such as heating or coating is a significant value factor, as untreated peridot with attractive color and good clarity commands premium attention from collectors, makers of fine jewelry, and gem investors. This peridot combines transparent color, precise cutting, and documented origin into a compact, versatile gem that functions equally well as a focal solitaire in bespoke jewelry or as a nucleus piece for a curated gemstone collection.
