This exquisite transparent 0.99 carat peridot, cut in a refined asscher octagon shape, carries a quiet elegance that speaks to centuries of gemstone tradition, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it to collectors who value legacy and timeless design. The gem measures 6.34 x 5.74 x 3.47 mm, and its yellowish green hue displays an intense color intensity that captures the eye with a warm, verdant glow. Faceted in an asscher style known for its stepped pavilion and square symmetry translated into an octagonal outline, this peridot catches light with a vintage personality, evoking the Art Deco era when such cuts became synonymous with enduring taste. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which lends the stone a natural character without distracting from its overall brilliance. With an excellent polish and no enhancement, this Tanzanian peridot arrives to you in its authentic state, a natural treasure ready to be set into a ring or pendant that will be cherished for generations.
When considering wearability and longevity, peridot sits at a Mohs hardness of approximately 6.5 to 7, which places it below hard gems like sapphire and diamond, and close to the hardness of quartz. This means the gem is durable enough for many types of jewelry, but it benefits from thoughtful settings and a measure of care. For everyday pieces, protective settings such as bezels or secure prongs are advised to shield the stone from knocks that harder gems would shrug off. Routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain its luster, and the fact that this stone has no enhancement makes it an honest, low maintenance choice for an heirloom piece. The asscher cut and excellent polish enhance its surface resilience and optical appeal, ensuring each facet contributes to a timeless look. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this 0.99 carat Tanzanian peridot is a piece that balances rich historical resonance with practical beauty, an ideal selection for someone seeking a classic gem that will pass gracefully from one generation to the next.
