0.51 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.51 carat peridot measures 5.87 by 4.03 by 2.44 millimeters, and is cut into a classic emerald cut. The step cut arrangement features broad rectangular facets on the crown and pavilion and a large table that emphasizes the medium intense green color of the peridot, the cut has truncated corners that provide structural security and visual balance, the pavilion depth of approximately 49.3 percent relative to the mean of length and width produces a stable light return that favors broad, architectural flashes rather than scintillation. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, the inclusion profile is minimal and located off axis, which is typical of fine peridot and allows excellent transparency across the table. The polish is excellent, with crisp facet junctions and mirror like facet planes, there is no enhancement, the natural state contributes to a stable surface chemistry and long term durability.
