0.85 Ct. Peridot from Madagascar

From the moment this peridot first formed deep within the ancient, shifting geology of Madagascar, it began a journey that speaks to time, heat, and rare mineral chemistry, a journey that The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to share with you. Brought to the surface by volcanic activity and gently recovered by local miners who know these deposits intimately, this transparent peridot carries the signature yellowish green tone that has made stones from Madagascar so sought after. Weighing 0.85 carat, this gem measures 8.02 by 4.05 by 2.80 mm, and sits in the desirable emerald cut, a shape chosen to honor the stone's crystalline origins while emphasizing linear elegance. The intense color intensity of the material is immediate and pure, a clear green that flashes sunlight from within, and the stone is entirely natural with no enhancement, a specimen that retains the honest story of its formation and the handwork that brought it to light.

The cutting and polishing of this peridot is where geology meets craftsmanship, and the result speaks to premium quality at every glance. Carefully faceted into an emerald cut to enhance both color and clarity, the gem exhibits a clarity that is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which for a peridot of this caliber means it reads as visually clean and lively. The excellent polish provides crisp facet junctions and a mirror like finish that allows light to travel through the stone with remarkable freedom, maximizing brilliance and color saturation. At 0.85 carat this peridot occupies a special place, large enough to command attention in a classic solitaire ring or a refined pendant, yet compact enough to be set with precision into bespoke pieces. The proportions, 8.02 by 4.05 by 2.80 mm, render the stone ideally suited to slender mounting designs that highlight its elongated emerald silhouette, creating an impression of elongated elegance on the finger or neckline. When you view the images of the gem on the hand you can appreciate scale and balance, the way the intense yellowish green becomes a personal accent that moves with the wearer.

Beyond its physical attributes, this peridot carries cultural resonance that connects wearer and world, an heirloom waiting to be born. Peridot has been treasured since antiquity for its fresh, verdant glow, associated with renewal, vitality, and the warmth of the sun, and this Madagascan example continues that lineage with a modern conscience. At The Natural Gemstone Company we pair that legacy with ethical sourcing and rigorous evaluation, so that the 0.85 carat weight you read about is not only a measure of size, but of premium quality, provenance, and care. For a customer seeking a distinctive center stone that blends geological story, fine cutting, and natural beauty, this peridot answers with clarity and color that do not require enhancement. Simple daily care, avoidance of prolonged heat and harsh chemicals, and responsible setting will preserve the stone for generations.
