0.63 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional transparent green peridot weighs 0.63 carat and is cut in a classic emerald shape, with precise proportions measuring 5.75 x 3.65 x 2.90 mm. The stone displays a medium intense color intensity that reads as a clean, fresh olive green, a hue produced by iron in the crystal lattice, and it has an excellent polish that maximizes surface brilliance and light return. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone appears clean to the unaided eye with only minor internal features visible under magnification, a quality that sophisticated buyers will recognize as desirable in a natural peridot. There are no enhancements, the gem is wholly natural, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing peridots with fine color and good transparency, details that add provenance and market value. The emerald cut further enhances the gem by providing broad, clean facets that emphasize color saturation and clarity rather than masking it with excessive faceting, making this peridot well suited for collectors and designers who appreciate both purity of tone and classical cutting style.

Beyond its aesthetic qualities, this peridot offers practical durability that makes it well suited for daily wear when set with appropriate care. Peridot measures around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which gives it reasonable resistance to abrasion and ordinary contact encountered in daily life, and its excellent polish and sound facet junctions contribute to long term wearability without rapid loss of luster. For optimal longevity we recommend secure settings that protect the edges and corners of the emerald cut, such as a bezel or a protective prong setting, and avoidance of hard knocks and harsh chemicals. Routine cleaning with mild soapy water and a soft brush will keep the stone bright, while avoiding ultrasonic or steam cleaning is prudent given the crystal structure. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this peridot as a finely balanced combination of natural origin, meticulous cutting, reliable clarity, and practical durability, making it an intelligent selection for daily rings, pendants, and fine jewelry pieces intended for regular wear.
