1.03 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

This 1.03 carat radiant shape peridot is a textbook example of how careful sourcing and expert cutting elevate a classic gem. Measuring 6.25 by 5.93 by 3.56 millimeters, the stone presents a transparent yellowish green hue with medium color intensity that reads lively under daylight and warm indoor lighting. The radiant cut was chosen to maximize both fire and color saturation, its faceting pattern blending trimmed corners and a mix of brilliant facets to return light efficiently while maintaining a pleasing profile for a ring or pendant. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning there are natural inclusions typical of peridot that do not materially detract from its overall transparency or brilliance, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and strong surface luster. There has been no enhancement to this stone, confirming its natural state, and its physical properties are consistent with olivine family peridot, offering durable wear at a Mohs hardness suitable for fine jewelry with mindful care.

The journey of this gem from mine to market embodies the standards we practice at The Natural Gemstone Company. Sourced in northern Pakistan, from well known peridot bearing terrains, the rough was selected for color and clarity at the mine site, then transported under secure and ethical channels to a skilled lapidary. The cutter prioritized weight retention and optical performance, orienting the pavilion and crown to best display the stone fluidity and hue, followed by meticulous polishing and a final quality control assessment. At our facility the gem received a careful visual clarity grading and color assessment by trained gem professionals, and documentation noting its natural origin and lack of treatments. For the educated buyer this peridot offers a compelling balance of size, cut quality, and provenance, making it suitable for collectors who value natural, untreated gems, and for designers seeking a distinctive yet timeless green accent. We stand behind the integrity of this offering, and we are available to discuss setting recommendations, mounting options, and independent certification if desired.
