1.07 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This peridot is a finely transparent, emerald cut gem weighing 1.07 carat, with precise dimensions 7.10 by 5.47 by 3.32 mm, and it offers a fresh lime green hue at medium color intensity. The cutting style is an elegant emerald cut that emphasizes clarity and color plane, producing broad, step facets that allow observers to appreciate the stone’s internal character while maintaining a calm, architectural light return. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the finish exhibits an excellent polish, which enhances face up brightness and the crispness of facet junctions. There has been no enhancement to this stone, and its origin is Pakistan, a source known for producing attractive peridot material with vivid, clean green tones. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this peridot as a natural, untreated example, suitable for the collector or the client seeking a clean, gemological profile paired with an unmistakable natural signature.

What truly defines the personality of this peridot is the pattern and nature of its internal inclusions, which act as the stone’s fingerprint. Under magnification, the gem reveals a network of minute, tabular platelets and very fine, hairline needle inclusions arranged along natural growth planes. These features are subtle and do not detract from the overall transparency, instead they produce a delicate internal scintillation when the stone is tilted, and they interact with the step facets to create linear flashes that travel across the table. In addition, there are a few tiny reflective mineral crystals that sit serenely within the pavilion, catching light as small points of brilliance. These inclusion types are characteristic indicators of natural peridot formation, they confirm the gem’s magmatic origin, and they provide a level of authenticity that educated buyers value highly. Because the inclusions are very small and predominantly aligned with growth structure, the gem remains eye pleasing, and the emerald cut uses its broad facets to both protect and display these natural features in a way that highlights the stone’s geological story rather than masking it.

From a buying and design perspective this peridot offers a compelling combination of clarity, color, and natural character that appeals to discerning clients and connoisseurs. The very slightly included clarity grade means the gem reads as clean to the naked eye in most lighting, while the inclusions provide microscopic evidence of natural origin that enhances provenance value and resale confidence. The excellent polish and the emerald cut make it particularly well suited to settings that emphasize table exposure, such as four prong or low bezel mounts, and for higher wearability a protective bezel is recommended to reduce edge impacts given peridot’s respectable but moderate hardness. Warm precious metals like yellow gold or warm rose gold will amplify the lime green tone and give the gem a classic, lively presentation, while white metals will render a more contemporary, crisp aesthetic. Collectors often prize peridot from Pakistan for its fresh, saturated greens and consistent transparency, and because this stone is untreated, with a clear gemological profile and visible natural inclusions that serve as its signature, it makes a highly defensible acquisition for both jewelry and collection cabinets.
