1.08 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This exquisite peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent emerald cut weighing 1.08 carats, with precise dimensions of 6.83 by 5.32 by 3.53 millimeters. Its lime green hue is intensely saturated, the clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent. This stone is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and its origin is Pakistan. The emerald cut accentuates the peridot s clean, architectural lines, presenting a broad table that allows the vivid color to show through with minimal obstruction. Photographs of the stone set on the hand demonstrate how the weight and the cut combine to give a strong face up presence, while the measured depth ensures that light returns evenly for a lively, bright appearance.

The 1.08 carat weight is central to what makes this peridot exceptional and valuable. Peridot is frequently encountered in smaller sizes, and one carat plus specimens that combine intense color, transparency, and a fine cut are comparatively rare. Each incremental fraction of a carat raises desirability, because larger peridots that remain eye clean and vividly colored are mined less often. In practical terms, this stone s 1.08 carat weight gives it a visual prominence on the finger that stones under one carat typically do not offer, without becoming cumbersome for everyday wear. From a value perspective, buyers are paying not only for the material itself, but for the rarity that comes with achieving this specific balance of weight, hue, and clarity. When you compare stones of similar dimensions but lower weight or muted color, this peridot immediately stands out as a superior choice.

Compared to other green gemstones on the market, this emerald cut peridot occupies a compelling position between price and visual impact. Natural emeralds of comparable face up size are often more heavily included and commonly treated to improve stability and appearance, which reduces their appeal for buyers seeking an untouched natural gem. Tsavorite garnets and chrome diopside deliver rich green tones but are usually priced at a premium relative to peridot at this weight, or they are found in smaller sizes. The emerald cut itself offers advantages over brilliant cuts for this material, because step facets focus attention on color and clarity rather than dispersion, showing off the stone s vivid lime green in a serene, jewel like block of color. For collectors and designers who want a strong, modern aesthetic, the step cut creates a refined statement that makes the peridot read larger and more elegant than many round or oval stones of similar carat weight.

Clarity and polish are essential in translating carat weight into perceived value, and this Pakistani peridot excels on both counts. The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates that inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the stone s overall transparency or brilliance when set in jewelry. This is important because at higher weights, inclusions become more visible if not properly managed, but this peridot s inclusions are small enough to preserve a clean appearance. The excellent polish enhances facet definition and encourages crisp light return across the broad table of the emerald cut, making the lime green hue appear lively and saturated from multiple viewing angles. The dimensions of 6.83 by 5.32 by 3.53 millimeters are well proportioned for a ring or pendant, offering a balanced face up size for a 1.08 carat stone that will sit comfortably and display beautifully in both solitaire settings and more intricate designs.

When you choose this peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company you are selecting a natural, unenhanced gem that offers a rare combination of weight, color intensity, and clarity, at a value that outperforms many alternatives. The market for green gemstones often forces buyers to compromise between color saturation, clarity, and size, but this peridot requires no such compromise.
