1.18 Ct. Peridot from Tanzania

This pear shaped, transparent 1.18 carat green peridot began its journey deep beneath the surface of the earth in Tanzania, where pockets of olivine crystallized over millennia and waited to be discovered. The stone measures 8.03 x 5.99 x 4.06 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut has been crafted to bring forward a medium intense green that feels like the first breath of spring after a long season. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is very very slightly included, a whisper of nature preserved within, and the polish is excellent, allowing light to dance freely through every facet. No enhancement has been applied, so what you see is the honest return of light from a gem that has traveled from volcanic origins to the careful hands of our cutters. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this peridot with the respect owed to a stone that kept its secret glow untouched until now.

There is a small romantic story woven into the stone, born from its hue and its tiny, natural inclusions. The green seems to hold the memory of lovers meeting under a canopy of new leaves, the clarity like promises spoken plainly, and the slight inclusions like tiny keepsakes tucked into a locket. The pear shape reads like a single tear of joy or a tender drop of morning dew, making this gem a poignant choice for an engagement or a meaningful gift. Skilled lapidaries refined the rough into a gem that sparkles with life, every facet cut to maximize brilliance, and every angle considered so the peridot sits like a bright green heart on the finger. For a striking contrast, pair this peridot with a Semi Black Opal accent, the deep tones of the opal setting off the fresh green, creating a duet of color and fire.
