0.71 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent green peridot presents itself as a superb study in refinement and balance, a perfect addition to a high end gemstone collection. At 0.71 carat and with exact dimensions of 6.00 by 4.03 by 3.10 mm, this stone is large enough to carry presence on its own, yet versatile enough to sit elegantly in a variety of settings. The emerald cut accentuates the peridot's linear geometry, producing a pavilion and step facet arrangement that emphasizes color and depth rather than distracting brilliance. The color reads as medium intense green, a lively hue that manages to be both fresh and sophisticated, and the clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are minute and do not detract from the gem's overall transparency or visual appeal. The polish is excellent, so facet junctions are crisp and the surface shows superior luster, which contributes to a clean table and well defined faceting. The origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, an area known for producing peridot of fine tone and attractive saturation, and the gem has no enhancement, making it a completely natural specimen for collectors who value purity of origin and treatment history.

Compared to many peridots and green gemstones on the market, this emerald cut peridot stands out for several reasons. Many available stones are either heat treated or surface treated to mask imperfections or adjust color, however this Ceylon peridot is untreated, so collectors acquire an honest, natural color. Other peridots in the same size range can exhibit heavy inclusions, cloudiness, or uneven polish, which diminish brightness when set in jewelry. By contrast this gem combines excellent polish with transparency and only very slight inclusions that are not visible at a casual glance, so it performs exceptionally well under jewelry lighting and in hand held inspection. The emerald cut itself is less common in peridot than round or oval shapes, and it offers collectors an elegant, architectural alternative that emphasizes clarity and color over dispersion. This makes the stone particularly appealing as a showcase piece in a collection focused on quality and rarity rather than simple size. In terms of value, an untreated, well polished peridot with medium intense color and careful emerald cut proportions commands a premium over treated or poorly cut stones, and it often appreciates more steadily because its qualities are intrinsic and not dependent on post mining treatments.

For discerning buyers and collectors, this peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company represents an outstanding combination of aesthetics, provenance, and investment potential. Its compact yet confident size makes it an ideal candidate for a bespoke ring, a sophisticated pendant, or a collector sample that complements other fine stones such as emeralds or tourmalines without competing with them. The emerald cut lends itself to settings that protect the gem while showing off its clean facets, and the medium intense green pairs beautifully with both warm and cool metal choices, from yellow gold that enhances its warmth to white gold or platinum that brings forward its fresh green quality. As with all offerings from The Natural Gemstone Company, this peridot is selected for its natural character, with clear documentation of origin and treatment status, and careful assessment of cut, clarity, and polish. For collectors who demand a stone that is honest, visually appealing, and distinct from the mass market of treated or imprecisely cut examples, this Ceylon emerald cut peridot is a refined choice that enriches a high end collection while offering a clear narrative of quality and provenance.
