1.05 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.05 carat asscher octagon peridot from Ceylon Sri Lanka showcases geometric faceting that is engineered to maximize light play, setting it apart from many other peridots and green gemstones on the market. The asscher cut with its cropped corners creates a precise octagonal outline, and the concentric step facets act like a hall of mirrors that channel light back through the table, producing crisp flashes and depth that round cuts and generic mixed cuts often fail to deliver. At 5.89 by 5.34 by 4.41 mm, this transparent yellowish green peridot appears larger face up than many stones of the same carat weight, because its pavilion angles and excellent polish allow strong light return and a bright, lively presence. The clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to most observers, while its medium color intensity gives it a versatile, wearable green that is richer than pale peridots and more approachable in price and hue than high end tsavorite or fine emeralds. Importantly this gem is untreated, no enhancement, a natural peridot that retains its original character and value.

Compared to alternatives, this asscher peridot offers superior visual impact and value, because the geometric faceting masks minor inclusions, enhances scintillation, and creates a structured, architectural look that many contemporary and vintage settings favor. Unlike many heat treated or clarity enhanced stones, this natural peridot from Ceylon Sri Lanka requires no laboratory alteration to shine, which appeals to collectors and clients seeking authenticity. When placed in a solitaire, halo, or minimalist bezel, the step facets provide a controlled brilliance that complements both cool and warm metal tones, making the gem an excellent choice for bespoke designers and everyday jewelry alike. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select cuts that elevate a gem s optical performance, and this asscher peridot exemplifies that philosophy, combining precise geometry, excellent polish, and natural origin to deliver an exceptional balance of quality, uniqueness, and value. For customers comparing green gemstones, this peridot stands out as a smart, visually striking alternative to more expensive emeralds and rarer green garnets, while offering a level of clarity and cut excellence rarely found in stones at this price point.
