0.75 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One exquisite example from The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent 0.75 carat emerald cut green peridot measures 6.00 x 4.00 x 3.12 mm, offering a combination of precise proportions and a refined presence that belies its compact size. The medium intense green color is pure and lively, a green that reads as fresh and verdant without tipping into yellowy tones that are common in many market peridots, and the clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, ensuring clear windowed transparency under most viewing conditions. Unlike many commercial stones which are heat treated or otherwise enhanced to shift color or mask inclusions, this gem is natural with no enhancement, and the excellent polish reveals crisp step facets and clean facet junctions in the emerald cut. Origin matters in both character and value, and this piece hails from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region respected for producing gems with fine color and stable crystal quality. When compared to other green gems such as emeralds, green tourmalines, or green garnets, this peridot offers a distinct, luminous green at a far more accessible price point, with the added advantage of being unenhanced and precisely cut to maximize its innate beauty.

Historically peridot has a storied heritage that sets it apart from many modern market alternatives, and this stone carries that lineage into contemporary jewelry. For centuries peridot has been valued for its vibrant green and its associations with protection, renewal, and solar energy, with ancient traditions placing peridot in talismans and sacred pieces worn close to the heart. Where emeralds were prized by royal courts and often required significant treatment or selective sourcing for top material, peridot was cherished for its brighter, sunnier green and its ability to convey warmth without needing enhancement. This Ceylon peridot, with its emerald cut, connects directly to those historic uses, because the step cut has long been favored for gems with high transparency and interesting internal character. The emerald cut opens the stone up and creates broad planes of light and color, allowing the viewer to appreciate the gem in the same contemplative way that classic jewelry did in earlier eras. The stone will make a fine center for a vintage inspired ring, a refined pendant that evokes heirloom styling, or as matched pieces for earrings that call back to classical symmetry, all while retaining the accessible and wearable nature that has made peridot a practical favorite across generations.

From a market perspective the advantages of this peridot are clear and well defined, making it a superior choice for customers who want authenticity, clarity of color, and long term value. Many peridots available today suffer from either muddy color, heavy inclusions, poor cutting that deadens the stone, or undisclosed treatments that can affect durability or future resale. This gem avoids those pitfalls, delivering medium intense color that reads true under varied lighting, a clarity grade that ensures eye appeal, and an emerald cut executed with excellent polish so that the stone behaves more like a jewel than a mere mineral specimen. Compared against emeralds, it offers a similar green personality without the typical pricing premiums, treatment complications, or fragility concerns associated with many emeralds. Compared against green tourmalines and green garnets, it offers a fresher, livelier green that tends to photograph and wear in a way that feels modern yet timeless. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the provenance of our stones, and this peridot is presented as an honest, unenhanced gem from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, ready for a jeweler or designer to set with confidence. For the buyer seeking a piece with authentic heritage, superior cutting, and transparent, natural quality, this 0.75 carat emerald cut peridot represents both an elegant aesthetic choice and a smart long term investment in wearable beauty.
