0.83 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

There is a rare comfort in stones that carry the quiet weight of history, and this peridot evokes that same timeless feeling. Hand selected by The Natural Gemstone Company, this single transparent peridot weighs 0.83 carat, presented in a classic round shape, and shows a luminous yellowish green that has captivated jewelry lovers for millennia. The gem measures 5.95 by 6.01 by 3.68 millimeters, and the mixed brilliant cut has been executed to balance lively scintillation with a pleasing table size. Clarity is described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to the gem cutter s restraint in preserving the raw character of the natural crystal while delivering exceptional transparency. The color is of medium intense color intensity, conveying both presence and subtlety, and the polish is excellent, allowing each facet to catch and return light with refined energy. No enhancement has been applied, and the peridot s origin in Pakistan ties it to a lineage of storied deposits that have long supplied collectors and connoisseurs with some of the finest green gems in the world.

Beyond its aesthetic virtues, this peridot is crafted to be enjoyed in everyday settings, and its physical properties make it eminently suitable for thoughtful daily wear. With a Mohs hardness around 6.5 to 7 and an excellent polish that resists minor surface wear, the stone withstands common scratching from daily contact while maintaining sparkle over time. The cutter s decision to employ a mixed brilliant cut enhances durability by distributing potential impact across numerous facets, and the measured depth of 3.68 millimeters helps preserve structural integrity without sacrificing brilliance. Many of our clients at The Natural Gemstone Company choose protective mounting styles such as bezels, half bezels, or halo settings that shelter the girdle and pavilion, making this peridot ideal for rings, pendants, or bracelets intended for frequent use. Routine care is simple, a gentle warm water and mild soap bath with soft cloth drying will refresh the brilliance, and avoiding sudden temperature extremes or harsh chemicals will protect the stone s long term beauty. For those who prefer an even more robust option for daily rings, placement in a low profile bezel or surrounded by a fine metal collar will significantly reduce the risk of edge chipping while preserving the gem s luminous color.

The appeal of this peridot is not only its individual character, but also the way it converses with other classic gemstones and time honored design motifs, making it an excellent anchor for heirloom quality jewelry. For an evocative color contrast, consider pairing the green fire of this peridot with a Fire Opal, an opal type prized for warm orange and red tones and a vivid internal sheen, the juxtaposition of verdant peridot and incandescent fire opal can create a dialogue of earth and flame that feels both ancient and completely modern. At The Natural Gemstone Company we often recommend complementary settings that honor the gem s history, such as a cathedral or bezel setting with hand engraved shoulders, or a vintage inspired halo that nods to classical salon jewelry while ensuring daily wearability. This peridot s Pakistani origin brings provenance and a narrative that enriches each piece, and our craftsmen can advise on metal choices that enhance the medium intense color intensity, for instance cool white metals for a crisp botanical impression, or warm yellows for a sunlit, earthy glow. If you seek a stone to become part of a legacy, to be worn, loved, and eventually passed on, this peridot offers a rare combination of natural purity, enduring polish, and adaptable strength, and The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to help you envision the setting that will transform this vivid gem into a treasured daily heirloom.
