0.56 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

This is a fine transparent 0.56 carat asscher octagon shape yellowish green peridot, with precise proportions measuring 5.32 by 5.13 by 2.76 mm, and an asscher cut that combines the geometric elegance of the octagon with carefully graded step facets, allowing for a disciplined play of light and depth. The clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, which for practical purposes translates to an exceptionally clean appearance to the unaided eye, and an inspection under magnification that confirms only minimal, well placed inclusions. The medium color intensity delivers a fresh, natural yellow green that reads as lively yet refined, and the excellent polish ensures that each facet interface is true and reflective, maximizing scintillation and contrast. There has been no enhancement to this stone, and its documented origin in Pakistan speaks to a known and respected peridot source, providing provenance that matters to collectors and connoisseurs. At 0.56 carat this gem provides a balanced presence for rings, pendants, and bespoke settings, offering versatility while maintaining a distinct, eye catching profile.

Why this piece is valuable to an educated buyer is easily explained by its combination of optical integrity, precise cutting, and natural origin, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind these characteristics with full disclosure. The asscher cut is particularly effective on stones with minimal inclusions, because its concentric step facets create windows into the gem, and when clarity is effectively flawless at face up sight, the result is an even, mirror like field that accentuates color and internal light return from every viewing angle. The excellent polish eliminates surface diffusion, so light strikes and rebounds crisply, giving the peridot a lively, gemmy appearance that reads as premium to both gem specialists and discerning clients. Because there are no enhancements, the medium tone and natural hue are stable and predictable in settings and over time, which is a key consideration for investment grade and heirloom pieces. In short, this peridot combines thoughtful cutting, controlled color saturation, and near flawless visible clarity to deliver a gemstone that performs beautifully in jewelry, and that offers the reliable provenance and quality assurance that buyers seek from The Natural Gemstone Company.
