1.01 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Tanzania

This oval shape peridot weighs 1.01 carat and measures 7.44 x 5.48 x 3.44 mm, presenting a transparent, lime green hue with medium color intensity. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining pavilion facets that enhance depth with a brilliant crown that promotes scintillation, and it has an excellent polish that produces crisp facet junctions and smooth reflective planes. Clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and these minor internal characteristics do not obstruct light transmission or materially affect visual performance. The stone is unenhanced, its origin is Tanzania, and its proportions and finish reflect careful lapidary work intended to balance color, brilliance, and face-up size.

Under daylight, particularly neutral to cool daylight, the peridot displays its truest lime green, appearing clean and lively with even color distribution across the table and crown. Mixed brilliant facets return a steady field of light and moderate dispersion, giving the face-up a bright, saturated appearance without strong color zoning. In warm incandescent lighting the tone shifts subtly toward a richer yellow-green, increasing perceived saturation and creating a softer, warmer glow. Under modern LED or halogen light sources the stone tends to show the greatest contrast and scintillation, as the crisp white output emphasizes facet reflections and small flashes from the brilliant crown. Fluorescent and cool artificial lighting can make the stone appear slightly paler, though clarity and polish preserve defined facet reflections, and the gem retains attractive sparkle even in subdued conditions. In low ambient light, small, well-defined scintillation is still evident when point light sources are present, due to the combination of transparent body, good polish, and the mixed facet arrangement.

For mounting considerations, settings that allow maximum light entry through the pavilion, such as prong or open bezel styles, will preserve the peridot’s brightness and scintillation, while protective settings can be used when additional security is required. The Natural Gemstone Company documents this peridot as natural, unenhanced, and of Tanzanian origin, and the gem’s measurements, finish, and clarity profile make it a technically balanced specimen suitable for fine jewelry where medium color intensity and lively brilliance are desired.
