0.81 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This peridot began its journey deep in the mineral-rich hills of Pakistan, born where olivine crystals formed under intense heat and pressure and later revealed themselves in narrow veins that our trusted partners carefully mine, hand sorting each find for color and clarity, this particular rough stone showed an immediate promise with a fresh lime green tone that stood apart from the more common olive and yellowish greens, at 0.81 carat and with dimensions of 6.36 x 6.11 x 3.35 mm it occupies a rare sweet spot in the peridot world, many examples of this gem either come smaller or in duller green, and larger clean stones in this vivid lime hue are seldom seen, knowing that rarity adds personality, our cutters chose a mixed brilliant cut to harmonize scintillation and face up size, the result is a transparent, lively gemstone with medium color intensity that reads as a bright lime green in daylight and a lively grassy glow in softer light, the clarity was assessed as very slightly included at eye level, meaning the inclusions do not interfere with the gem s sparkle or its ability to read clean to most viewers, the polish was finished to an excellent level, giving each facet crisp reflections and a lively table, no enhancement has been applied, this is an honest natural peridot, and its Pakistani origin contributes to a narrative that collectors and lovers of honest gemstones will appreciate.
