0.71 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This transparent 0.71 carat asscher octagon peridot measures 6.47 x 5.06 x 2.64 mm, and showcases a refined asscher cut with step facets that emphasize clarity and color. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, the stone is essentially eye clean for most settings and lighting conditions, which is an important value factor for discerning buyers. The medium lime green color is evenly distributed and lively, and the excellent polish enhances light return and face up brightness. There are no enhancements, and the documented origin is Pakistan, a region known for producing peridot with clean material and attractive green tones. For the educated buyer, this combination of an asscher cut, eye clean clarity, natural untreated origin, and precise dimensions represents a well balanced gem that is easy to set, predictable in behavior, and reliable in resale or bespoke design projects.

From a durability and daily wear perspective, peridot has a Mohs hardness of approximately 6.5 to 7, which places it in a category that is durable for many types of jewelry when matched with sensible design choices. The excellent polish and neat faceting reduce the likelihood of surface abrasion, and the asscher octagon silhouette fits securely in bezel or semi bezel settings that offer protective walls around the girdle and corners. For rings that will be worn every day, I recommend a protective setting and occasional inspection to ensure prongs remain secure, because peridot can be more susceptible to sharp knocks than harder gems. Avoid exposure to sudden extreme heat and ultrasonic or steam cleaning, and clean the gem gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select and present stones with full disclosure of cut, clarity, color intensity, enhancement status, and origin, so you receive an honest appraisal of how each gem will perform in real life. This 0.71 carat Pakistani peridot is an excellent choice for someone seeking a vibrant, eye clean, natural stone with classic asscher geometry that balances beauty with practical durability for everyday jewelry.
