0.60 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

This listing from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a beautiful transparent peridot weighing 0.60 carat, oval in shape, with precise dimensions of 6.89 by 4.78 by 2.54 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, and a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level. The gem shows medium color intensity, and it has been given an excellent polish to maximize brilliance and light return. There has been no enhancement to this stone, it is entirely natural, and it hails from Pakistan, a source increasingly recognized for fine, clean peridot material. These objective details are the foundation of the gem and they matter when you are comparing options in the marketplace, because they tell you about true transparency, optical performance, and the integrity of the stone.

When you compare this peridot to other offerings on the market, a few advantages become clear. Many green gemstones offered for jewelry are heat treated, fracture filled, or synthesized, and those interventions can alter durability, resale value, and long term appearance. This Pakistani peridot is untreated, which means the color you see is the color that will remain, and the polish and cut have been executed to highlight the gem as it exists naturally. The mixed brilliant cut balances large facets for color and smaller facets for scintillation, so against cheaper, poorly cut stones this peridot returns light with lively sparkle and a pleasing spread of tone across its oval face. In terms of clarity, very very slightly included evaluated at eye level signals a stone that appears clean to the eye in typical jewelry settings, unlike heavily included material that can look dull or cloudy. For buyers who want an honest natural gem that performs attractively on the finger or in a pendant, this peridot offers superior visual value compared to many mass market alternatives.

Compared to other green gemstones you may be considering, this peridot occupies a unique place between affordability and undeniable charm. Emeralds can display a deeper green but are commonly included and routinely treated, which means clarity and long term stability depend on the nature of those treatments. Tsavorite garnet and chrome diopside are rare and command higher prices, and green sapphire or tourmaline may be harder, but those materials also carry different color characters that are not the vivid lime to olive green that defines quality peridot. This peridot, with its medium intensity green, transparent body, and excellent polish, presents a lively, fresh green that stands apart from muddier or heavily treated alternatives. The combination of a precise oval outline at 6.89 by 4.78 by 2.54 millimeters and a total weight of 0.60 carat makes it versatile for a range of settings, and it offers a level of brilliance and color purity that, when considered alongside its untreated origin, offers a compelling value proposition for both jewelry designers and discerning buyers.

Over the years the natural beauty of this peridot will continue to captivate, provided it is cared for in line with its nature. Peridot is durable enough for regular wear when set thoughtfully, though it is softer than sapphires or diamonds, so protective settings such as bezels or dressy prongs extend longevity. The medium intensity green in a transparent, well cut and polished stone resists fading because the color is inherent to the mineral, unlike some materials that can bleach or shift when altered. Routine care is simple, use warm soapy water and a soft brush to restore luster, and avoid harsh chemicals, prolonged exposure to extreme heat, and steam treatments that can stress internal inclusions. Stored separately from harder gems to prevent abrasion, and checked for a secure setting during occasional jeweler visits, this peridot will maintain its excellent polish and lively facet reflections for decades. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the provenance and condition of the gem, and we present it as a smart choice for anyone seeking a natural, untreated green gemstone with honest grading, attractive size and cut, and enduring visual appeal.
