1.01 Ct. Peridot from Tanzania

This transparent 1.01 carat oval peridot from Tanzania presents precise proportions with dimensions of 7.44 x 5.48 x 3.44 mm and a mixed brilliant cut. The stone displays a medium intense green color that leans slightly toward a lively, fresh green with subtle yellow undertones. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, resulting in a generally clean face up appearance with minor internal characteristics that do not detract from overall visual appeal. The gem has an excellent polish and no enhancement, which allows the natural surface luster and internal reflections to be observed clearly. This peridot is suited to a variety of settings where its oval outline and balanced depth will sit well in rings, pendants, and other fine jewelry, and the combination of cut and polish has been chosen to maximize light return and scintillation for its size.

Under a range of lighting conditions this peridot exhibits predictable and pleasing behavior due to its color and cut. In daylight or cool natural light the medium intense green reads as crisp and vivid, with the mixed brilliant faceting producing small flashes of light across the table and crown. Under warm incandescent or candlelight the green takes on a slightly warmer, more olive influenced tone while retaining good brilliance, creating an inviting and softer appearance. Modern cool white LED and fluorescent lighting tend to emphasize the purer green component of the stone, increasing perceived saturation and contrast against a neutral background. Direct sunlight highlights the faceting pattern and yields pronounced scintillation and lively internal reflections, while diffuse or shaded lighting emphasizes the evenness of color and the high polish. The minor inclusions present may act as light modifiers, adding subtle character without affecting the gem at normal viewing distances. This peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is presented in a natural, untreated state, and will perform consistently across common lighting environments while offering a combination of attractive color, controlled brilliance, and an impeccable surface finish.
