0.92 Ct. Peridot from Tanzania

This peridot begins its story deep within the ancient volcanic flows of Tanzania where crystals form slowly under heat and pressure, then are revealed by careful hands and patient miners who know how to read the rock. Extracted with respect for the landscape, this 0.92 carat emerald cut peridot was hand selected for its transparent clarity and its medium intense green that feels both fresh and refined. Cut to dimensions of 6.91 x 5.14 x 2.98 mm, the emerald cut was chosen to emphasize the stone's clear window and elegant table, allowing light to travel through the body of the gem and reveal its inner life. With an excellent polish and no enhancement, the gem shows a pure, natural vibrancy, a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and a finish that reflects the skill of the lapidary who transformed a rough Tanzanian crystal into a ready to set jewel. The story from mine to masterful cut is one of stewardship and skill, and this peridot arrives from that journey as a small but undeniable testament to nature and craft, presented to you by The Natural Gemstone Company.

What gives this peridot its unmistakable signature are the tiny internal features that tell the tale of its formation, natural inclusions that are not flaws but fingerprints. Look closely and you will see delicate platelets and minute reflective surfaces that catch the light like tiny leaves, subtle feathery veils that trace the pathways of crystal growth, and the occasional healed fissure that frames a pale lustre within the stone. These inclusions sit harmoniously within the emerald cut, creating a living depth that changes as the gem moves, a soft internal shimmer that plays against the medium intense green. They confirm the gem is an honest natural peridot from Tanzania, unenhanced and genuine, and they add personality and provenance that cannot be replicated by treatments. For someone who appreciates the narrative behind a gem, this peridot connects landscape to hand, time to technique, and earth to adornment. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to hold this gem and feel the story embedded in those tiny signatures, a natural jewel that will become part of your own history.
