0.68 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the green, weathered hills of Ceylon where sunlight filters through ancient canopy and gemstones rest in alluvial silt, this peridot began its journey as a quiet pocket of lime green promise. Unearthed by hand by seasoned miners who have read the land for generations, the rough crystal was recognized for its clarity and vibrant tone. It traveled from the mine to a local lapidary workshop where each step of the transformation was respected for its place in the stone story. At The Natural Gemstone Company we selected this particular 0.68 carat specimen for its transparent quality and intense color intensity, measured at 6.00 x 3.96 x 2.84 mm. No enhancement was applied, preserving the gem as nature intended, and the eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level meant the gem carried a purity that would sing once properly faceted.

The emerald cut chosen for this peridot is a deliberate celebration of its inherent strengths, a design that turns light into broad, elegant flashes rather than scattered sparkle. The long stepped facets and cropped corners guide light in linear reflections, deepening the lime green hue and producing a hall of mirrors effect that emphasizes color and clarity. Because the stone is eye clean and has an excellent polish, each facet returns clean planes of light and color, giving the gem a radiance that feels both modern and timeless. The lapidary work balanced table size and pavilion depth to preserve weight while optimizing optical performance, ensuring the 6.00 x 3.96 x 2.84 mm dimensions sit perfectly in settings designed to showcase the emerald cut silhouette. This peridot carries the warmth of Ceylon, the patience of master cutters, and the assurance of natural origin. When you hold it, you hold a journey from riverbed to refined gem, a lime green promise that speaks of ancient soils and contemporary craft. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this peridot as a piece that connects wearer and earth, a small, vivid story waiting to be framed in metal and carried forward.
