0.85 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Tanzania

This transparent lime green peridot weighs 0.85 carat, and is presented in a classic emerald cut shape, with precise dimensions of 6.17 x 5.43 x 3.28 mm. The stone exhibits intense color intensity and an excellent polish, with no enhancement reported. Clarity is graded as included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that is consistent with natural material and that contributes to the gem character without obscuring its overall transparency. Origin is Tanzania, a known source for vibrant peridot, and the piece has been cut and finished to emphasize both color saturation and surface quality. The measurements and weight align with a versatile size appropriate for a variety of mounting styles, and the emerald cut proportions maintain a strong face up presence while preserving depth and stability.

The geometric faceting of this emerald cut peridot is the defining technical attribute that enables its maximum light play. The step facets on the crown and pavilion are arranged in parallel planes that produce broad, mirror like flashes and controlled reflections, creating a balanced interplay between brilliance and depth. The truncated corners and broad table allow light to enter and exit in predictable paths, delivering large, sustainable flashes of color rather than a scattered scintillation. Excellent symmetry and polish enhance these effects, allowing clean facet junctions to act as efficient optical planes, and the stone responds to directional light with a rhythmic sequence of highlights that accentuate its lime green hue. For a jeweler or designer seeking a gem that communicates clarity of form and a disciplined, geometric sparkle, this peridot offers a refined optical signature. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this gem as a finished, untreated example of Tanzanian peridot, suitable for settings that aim to showcase facet geometry and natural color in a precise, enduring presentation.
