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

From the heart of Ceylon, where ancient geology and centuries of gem lore meet, this peridot began its journey deep beneath the island earth. Formed in high temperature environments and carried to the surface through volcanic processes and alluvial streams, each peridot from Sri Lanka carries with it the slow, patient work of the planet. Local miners and skilled sorters in Ceylon recognize the gem by its vivid lime green hue, a color that has been admired in regional jewelry traditions for generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that history, working directly with trusted sources in Sri Lanka to bring forward gemstones that retain their provenance and authentic character. This stone is a natural, transparent peridot weighing 0.82 carat, and its origin in Ceylon gives it both geological depth and cultural resonance.

The transformation from rough to radiant treasure is where nature and human craft unite, and this 5.79 x 5.22 x 3.47 mm radiant cut peridot is a testament to that collaboration. Carefully selected rough was examined for color zoning, clarity, and crystal habit, and the decision to fashion a radiant shape was made to maximize the gem’s intense lime green color and internal fire. The cutter balanced facet geometry to emphasize brilliance while preserving weight, and the result is a gem with excellent polish and lively light return. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the tiny natural features are only detectable on close inspection, adding a natural fingerprint to a gem that otherwise reads as clean and transparent to the eye. There has been no enhancement, the color and clarity are entirely natural, and the cutting and polishing were executed to reveal the peridot’s best possible expression.

As a gemstone meant to be loved and worn, its natural beauty will continue to captivate for many years with appropriate care. Peridot has a resilient nature, and with thoughtful settings and gentle maintenance its polish and vibrant color will be preserved. We recommend protective settings that shield the stone from hard knocks, and simple cleaning with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush to remove everyday oils and dust. Avoid exposing the gem to prolonged extreme heat or harsh chemicals, and store it separately to protect the facets and polish. Because this peridot is untreated, its intense lime green hue is stable and will not fade from artificial treatments, and the excellent polish will keep the stone sparkling as long as it is cleaned and handled with care. Over time, the small natural inclusions that earn its very slightly included clarity will become part of the gem’s story, a reminder of its origin and the journey it has made.

Owning this peridot is to carry a piece of Ceylon geology and craftsmanship with you, a luminous green companion that pairs beautifully with yellow gold for warmth, with white gold or platinum for modern contrast, or set as a fresh colored accent in bespoke designs. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in presenting stones that are responsibly sourced and meticulously finished, and this 0.82 carat radiant peridot is offered with full disclosure of its dimensions, cut, clarity, polish, and lack of enhancement. Whether set as a center stone in a ring, nestled as a pendant, or kept as part of a curated collection, this gem promises a lifetime of visual delight, a story to tell, and a connection to the landscapes and hands that brought it to light.
