1.07 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This peridot begins its story deep within the earth, born of volcanic processes that brought vivid olivine to the surface, and carried by local miners in Pakistan to light and careful hands, The Natural Gemstone Company selected this clean crystal for its unusual transparency and true lime green hue, rough pieces of this quality are rare in those mines, and finding a gem that would finish at 1.07 carat was an event in itself, the cultural legacy of Pakistani peridot is long and storied, and this gem carries that history into a modern, wearable form, unenhanced and honestly presented to the collector who values origin as much as beauty.

From that rough the cutter chose an asscher cut to honor the stone's internal clarity and to deepen its lively green, the asscher cut in this octagonal shape creates a stepped pavilion and a luminous table that throws back light in broad flashes, the finished gem measures 6.40 by 5.65 by 3.77 mm, clarity is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, color intensity is medium, polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement, these technical qualities matter because most peridots on the market are either smaller, less transparent, or carry olive tones that mute their light, finding a peridot over one carat that shows a clean lime green, with medium intensity and such fine polish, is exceptionally rare, this gem sits in a small class of peridots that can be set as a striking solitaire, it photographs beautifully, and it sits with a confident presence on the finger as shown in our images, whether set in a vintage inspired ring, a modern bezel, or kept loose in a collector cabinet, this peridot will be admired for its provenance, honesty of treatment, and the uncommon combination of size and color, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this gem to discerning collectors and jewelers who want a peridot that is both a conversation piece and a lasting heirloom, please reach out if you would like additional images, measurements, or advice on settings to best showcase this rare Pakistani asscher peridot.
