1.26 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This description details a transparent 1.26 carat oval peridot, with dimensions 8.07 by 6.17 by 3.74 millimeters, cut in a checkerboard faceting pattern to optimize optical performance. The crown presents a grid of systematic, geometric facets that work in concert with a precisely proportioned pavilion to enhance light return and create dynamic scintillation. The checkerboard geometry distributes reflected light across multiple small planes, producing consistent sparkle and a lively play of light when viewed from different angles. Facet junctions are executed to tight tolerances, supporting balanced light leakage control and preserving the stone s perceived depth and color saturation. The overall proportions and symmetry of the oval outline facilitate predictable light behavior in a variety of mounting styles, making the stone suitable for both solitaire and multi stone settings where uniform brilliance is required.

The material exhibits a medium color intensity in a lime green hue, consistent with peridot from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which results in minimal visual distraction under standard viewing conditions. The surface shows an excellent polish, contributing to crisp facet reflections and maximizing apparent luster. The gem has undergone controlled heat treatment as an enhancement, applied to stabilize and enhance color uniformity. Measurements and weight are provided for accurate planning of settings, and the combination of 1.26 carat weight with the stated dimensions yields a well balanced face up presentation. The Natural Gemstone Company affirms origin as Ceylon Sri Lanka and provides quality verification based on visual and gemological assessment, including notes on enhancement. This account emphasizes the geometric faceting and measurable attributes of the stone, offering factual information useful for gemologists, designers, and jewelers who require specifications and predictable optical performance.
