0.90 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

Millions of years ago deep within the earth where heat and pressure sculpted mineral crystals, this peridot began its long journey. Born from molten rock in the mantle beneath what is now Pakistan, olivine crystals slowly organized into the vivid lime green that makes peridot so distinctive, the color carried by iron within the crystal lattice. As tectonic forces shifted and volcanic events pushed material upward, this gem was carried toward the surface in basaltic flows and peridotite nodules, preserved through time by stable pockets of rock. Over ages of cooling and geological movement the rough stone was recovered by miners who recognized its clarity and color, and then handed to master cutters who revealed its inner fire. The asscher octagon cut chosen for this piece sharpens the stone into balanced symmetry, the stepped facets creating a hall of light that emphasizes the gem transparency and medium color intensity, while the excellent polish gives each facet a clean mirror finish. Natural inclusions appear as slight signatures of origin, the clarity grading slightly included when viewed at eye level, confirming that this is an honest, untreated gem with no enhancement, a true example of Earth born beauty.

For the customer seeking an engagement ring with personality, or a collector in pursuit of a lively, naturally sourced peridot, this 0.90 carat, asscher octagon shape gem measures 6.17 x 5.74 x 3.19 mm and presents an ideal balance of size and wearability.
