0.82 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Tanzania

One transparent peridot, weighing 0.82 carat, is presented in an emerald cut, with dimensions of 5.71 x 4.68 x 3.83 mm, offering a compact yet substantial presence for a variety of jewelry designs. The color is a clear green, described as lime green, with medium color intensity that balances vibrancy and wearability across lighting conditions. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minor and do not detract from the gem when set and viewed in typical use. The stone exhibits an excellent polish, which enhances facet reflection and crispness of the emerald cut lines, and it is reported as having no enhancement, reflecting its natural state from its origin in Tanzania. This combination of weight, precise proportions, and finish yields a gemstone that communicates quality without overwhelming a design, and it is supplied by The Natural Gemstone Company with standard gemological information and provenance for the discerning jeweler or collector.

The emerald cut presents the peridot with step facets that emphasize clarity and color, producing linear flashes of light rather than scintillation associated with brilliant cuts. This optical behavior makes the gem especially suited to clean, architectural settings that allow the step pattern to be visible from the table. In practical terms the 5.71 x 4.68 mm footprint fits well into small to medium ring heads, delicate pendants, subtle stud earrings, and accent positions in three stone or halo compositions. The medium color intensity is versatile, appearing lively in daylight and maintaining presence under incandescent lighting, while the transparency and excellent polish ensure even pavilion facet return, which contributes to perceived size and depth when set. The recorded very slightly included clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, suggests inclusions are not prominent, which is particularly advantageous for the emerald cut where inclusions can otherwise be visible.

From a design and wearability perspective, the gem adapts readily between casual and formal contexts. In everyday pieces the lime green tone adds a fresh, modern accent when paired with warm metals such as yellow gold or rose gold, and it also reads as refined and contemporary in cooler metals including white gold and platinum. For formal applications the clean geometry of the emerald cut lends itself to classic settings that emphasize symmetry and proportion, and the stone can serve as either a focal point or as a color accent paired with diamonds or other colored gems. Additionally, mention is made of the Semi Black Opal type for design consideration, as a semi black opal can provide a contrasting dark play of color that complements the peridot green. Combining this peridot with a Semi Black Opal creates deliberate contrast in tone and texture, supporting designs that move between understated daily wear and elevated evening pieces.

Technical considerations for care and long term stability are straightforward. Peridot typically measures about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which allows for regular wear when set protectively, though caution against sharp blows and abrasive contact is prudent. Ultrasonic cleaning and steam should be avoided or tested cautiously, and routine cleaning with a soft brush warm water and mild detergent preserves the polish and luster. The lack of enhancement simplifies valuation and makes the gem suitable for clients who prioritize natural material attributes and traceable origins, in this case Tanzania, which is known for producing well formed peridot crystals. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this peridot as a natural, unenhanced example, with clear specifications including carat, dimensions, clarity, color intensity, cut, polish, and origin, enabling accurate integration into design proposals, inventory listings, and certificate documentation.
