1.14 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This exquisite 1.14 carat peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is presented in a classic emerald cut that measures 8.14 x 5.00 x 3.48 mm, and it displays a lively lime green hue with medium color intensity. The cut has been executed to emphasize both clarity and color, producing clean step facets that create a refined play of light and a pleasing face up appearance. At 1.14 carats this stone sits in a desirable size range for both solitaire and accent pieces, and the dimensions give designers strong options for settings that showcase the elongated table and parallel facets of the emerald cut. The clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that the stone is visually clean to most observers while retaining small, characteristic natural features that confirm its natural origin. The polish is excellent, enhancing the stone surface for maximum brilliance and minimizing light obstruction from the facet junctions.

From a gemological perspective this peridot is a member of the olivine group, a magnesium iron silicate, and its chartreuse to lime green color is produced by iron in the crystal lattice. Peridot is one of the few gem minerals that occur with a single distinct color family, and medium intensity lime tones such as those in this example are highly sought after for their fresh and modern aesthetic. The very slightly included clarity grade is consistent with fine gem peridot, and the stone shows strong transparency which amplifies saturation and visual appeal. Importantly this peridot carries no enhancement, and it is offered in totally natural state without heat, irradiation, fracture filling, or other treatments. For an educated buyer, that untreated status adds to the gemological integrity and long term collectability, because no results are dependent on temporary or hard to verify treatments. The emerald cut further complements peridot by reducing the visibility of typical internal features, while providing elegant linear reflections and a sophisticated overall look.

The origin of this peridot is Pakistan, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we are intentional about how we source stones from that region. Our procurement practices prioritize direct relationships with small scale miners and trusted cutters in Pakistan, and we work to ensure that supply chains are transparent and traceable. That approach allows us to confirm fair compensation for workers, reasonable environmental stewardship at mining sites, and responsible handling through each stage of cutting and distribution. For a conscious consumer these provenance details matter, because ethical sourcing connects the beauty of a gem to responsible labor and minimal environmental impact. We also review and document the route of each significant parcel, and we encourage buyers who care about sustainability to request additional provenance information. By offering a naturally occurring peridot from a known origin, with no enhancement and with vetted sourcing, The Natural Gemstone Company provides assurance that an investment in this gem supports ethical practices and respects the communities involved in bringing the stone to market.

In practical terms this peridot is versatile for fine jewelry and thoughtfully durable for regular wear when set appropriately. With a Mohs hardness around 6.5 to 7 peridot requires mindful settings that protect corners and edges, and the emerald cut lends itself to four corner prongs or bezel treatments for daily wear designs. Care recommendations include avoiding harsh chemicals, strong heat, and ultrasonic cleaners, recommending instead warm soapy water and a soft brush for routine cleaning, and separate storage to prevent abrasion from harder gems. For collectors and designers the value proposition of this stone rests on its combination of natural, untreated origin, attractive color and clarity, excellent polish, and responsible sourcing from Pakistan as managed by The Natural Gemstone Company. Whether selected as a signature center stone, a refined accent for a bespoke design, or a collectible example of Pakistani peridot, this emerald cut lime green peridot represents a thoughtful choice for buyers who prioritize both aesthetic quality and ethical provenance.
