1.12 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Cabochon Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare and exceptionally refined example of peridot awaits the collector who recognizes true individuality. This one beautiful translucent 1.12 carat oval shape green lime green peridot is presented in a classic cabochon cut, with dimensions 7.04 by 5.17 by 3.48 mm, a very slightly included clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, and an excellent polish. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and free from any enhancements, this gem carries provenance and integrity that are increasingly uncommon. The smooth domed silhouette enhances the gem s internal glow, allowing the vibrant lime green to sing under light, and the precise finishing speaks to the careful hands that transformed this natural crystal into a wearable treasure. Owning this peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is to hold a piece that is as much a conversation starter as it is a private indulgence, reserved for those who appreciate stones of discreet rarity.

Durability is an important consideration for any wearable gem, and peridot sits comfortably on the Mohs scale at approximately 6.5 to 7, which places it below sapphire and ruby at 9, and diamond at 10, yet comparable to quartz which is about 7. This means that while peridot is suitable for many types of jewelry, special attention to setting and care will extend its life and luster. The cabochon form of this specimen offers additional resilience to chipping, thanks to its rounded surface and superb polish, making it an excellent choice for pendants, earrings, and more protected ring settings with bezel or halo designs. For daily wear, I recommend avoiding harsh impact, abrasive cleaners, and exposure to high heat, and to clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Because only a small number of such fine, untouched Ceylon peridots reach our selection, this gem represents a unique opportunity to acquire a natural, elegant stone that will stand out in any bespoke setting. If you seek exclusivity and natural beauty, The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to make this luminous lime green peridot part of your curated collection.
