0.56 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This 0.56 carat oval peridot presents an exceptional combination of size, color, and clarity, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. The gem measures 6.06 x 4.15 x 3.14 mm and is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut, a cutting style that marries step and brilliant facets to maximize both color saturation and light return. The transparency is clean and the clarity grade is very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning that inclusions are minimal and do not affect visual performance to the unaided eye. The intense lime green color is characteristic of high quality peridot and results from iron in the crystal structure, producing a vivid, saturated hue that reads bright under natural and artificial lighting. The polish is excellent, so facet junctions are crisp and surface reflections are sharp, contributing to strong brilliance and scintillation for a gem of this weight. Importantly, there has been no enhancement, so the stone is in its natural state, which enhances appeal to buyers who prioritize untreated gemstones.

The origin of this peridot is Pakistan, a locality that has become synonymous with some of the most desirable peridot specimens in the market due to the combination of color intensity and crystal quality found in its northern deposits. Provenance matters to educated buyers because locality can influence rarity, market perception, and long term value, and Pakistani peridot is sought after by collectors and designers for its distinctive lime tone and typically excellent crystal form. In addition, documented origin and no enhancement increase confidence in grading and valuation, and provide a clear narrative for estate quality jewelry or investment pieces. For practical use, the gem is an excellent choice for a bespoke ring or pendant where its mixed brilliant cut will catch light with lively scintillation, and its VVS level clarity will look clean in most settings. At The Natural Gemstone Company we provide detailed information on cutting, clarity, and origin to support transparent buying decisions, and this Pakistani peridot represents a rare combination of natural color intensity, pristine polish, and minimal inclusions that will satisfy collectors and discriminating jewelry clients alike.
