0.55 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This luminous peridot carries with it a lineage that reaches back through millennia, a gemstone once adored by ancient civilizations and spoken of as a talisman of light and renewal. This particular stone is a transparent 0.55 carat emerald cut green peridot, precisely faceted to an emerald cut shape that emphasizes linear elegance and restrained brilliance, with dimensions of 5.93 x 4.01 x 2.77 mm. Its medium intense color intensity radiates a fresh, verdant hue that reads as both classic and modern, and an excellent polish ensures each facet interacts with light in a way that recalls polished antiquity. The clarity is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a graceful testament to natural formation and authenticity, and the stone bears no enhancement, originating from the storied gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The emerald cut adds a timeless architectural character, a style that has been favored by collectors and connoisseurs for its understated symmetry and its capacity to showcase internal color and clarity rather than relying on exuberant sparkle. For those who treasure continuity and legacy, this peridot reads like a piece of history remade for today.

Beyond its aesthetic virtues, peridot has a long tradition of metaphysical and healing associations that have endeared it to healers and seekers across cultures.
