1.19 Ct. Peridot from Tanzania

A luminous heart quietly waits within a precise, octagon stage, a 1.19 carat peridot that sings in soft green. The asscher cut gives this gem a cathedral of facets, a stairway where light climbs and rests, revealing a clarity that whispers rather than shouts. Transparent and pure, with dimensions of 6.17 x 5.90 x 4.17 mm, it holds a medium intense green that feels like first leaves at dawn, an honest color that draws the eye and keeps the gaze. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is very slightly included, a gentle signature of the earths making that adds character rather than distraction. The polish is excellent, each facet finished to a mirror like calm, so when light finds this peridot it scatters into soft, verdant fire, a quiet brilliance that suits those who prefer elegance over ostentation. No enhancement has been applied, every hue and every facet presented exactly as the world formed it, a natural treasure offered with integrity.

This peridot comes from Tanzania, a place where ancient geology gives rise to new promises, and where our sourcing is guided by respect and care. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace each step from the mine to your hand, working with small scale miners and trusted partners to ensure that every piece supports fair practices. The journey of this stone is documented through relationships built on transparency, fair compensation, and a commitment to reduce environmental impact. Miners receive equitable pay and training, communities are supported through sustainable initiatives, and local stewardship is part of the daily practice of extraction and rehabilitation. By choosing a gem with no enhancement and a clear provenance, you are embracing a way of collecting that honors the people and the places that give us such beauty, a way of wearing memory and responsibility together.

Imagine this peridot resting against warm gold or cool white metal, set as a promise on a hand that will hold a lifetime of mornings and small miracles. Its asscher, octagon geometry lends itself to settings that celebrate symmetry and light, a romantic centerpiece that marries vintage soul with modern restraint. For those who collect with conscience, this gem is a statement as much as an ornament, a choice that balances the desire for beauty with the need for ethics. It is ideal for engagement pieces that are meant to tell a story, or for keepsakes that mark a personal milestone, each glance a reminder of deliberate selection. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to consider jewellery as an archive of intention, a curated collection that reflects who you are and what you value. To own this peridot is to carry a piece of Tanzanian earth, shaped by hands that were treated with dignity, brought to light without alteration, and offered to you as an honest jewel of the natural world.
