0.96 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Brazil

When you are looking for a gemstone that answers the desire for beauty, individuality, and long term value, this transparent 0.96 carat cushion shape yellowish green peridot from Brazil is the precise answer, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it to you. Measured at 6.14 x 6.11 x 3.95 mm, this stone sits at the sweet spot of near one carat, a size that feels substantial on the finger yet remains versatile enough for elegant pendants and refined earrings. The checkerboard cut across the crown creates an engaging mesh of light and shade, producing lively scintillation and a soft shimmer that flatters warm skin tones. With a medium color intensity that highlights peridot’s characteristic apple to lime green, and an excellent polish that ensures smooth, bright facets, this gem delivers visual appeal from every angle. It is natural and untreated, no enhancement, straight from Brazil, and graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means it is eye clean to most observers while retaining the natural character that collectors and sentimental buyers treasure.

If you are imagining this gem as the center of an engagement ring or a signature piece to wear every day, the cushion shape and checkerboard table make it an ideal focal point. The stone’s dimensions allow for a variety of classic and contemporary settings, from a protective bezel that emphasizes the soft cushion outline, to a halo of small white diamonds that amplifies sparkle and creates a luxurious contrast. For a warm and harmonious pairing, 18 karat yellow gold enhances the yellowish green tones, while rose gold can lend a romantic, vintage inspired aura, and white gold or platinum will create a striking modern composition. Peridot has a Mohs hardness of approximately 6.5 to 7, which means it wears beautifully with normal daily use, though it benefits from a protective setting and mindful care, such as occasional gentle cleaning and avoiding hard knocks. The very slightly included clarity gives the stone a living feel, and the excellent polish ensures that each facet returns light with vitality, so the finished piece will have both fire and depth. For collectors and lovers of fine craftsmanship, this Brazilian peridot is a rare natural example that performs beautifully when set by a skilled jeweler.
