1.32 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Tanzania

This listing describes one transparent peridot, presented in an emerald cut, weighing 1.32 carats, with dimensions 7.65 x 5.53 x 3.47 mm. The color is a clean lime green, assessed as medium color intensity, with excellent polish and no enhancement. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the stone is natural in origin, sourced from Tanzania. The cut is an emerald cut with step facets and truncated corners, producing a broad table and elongated profile that emphasizes the stone color and internal clarity. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this gem as a single, well documented example of quality peridot for a refined collection.

From a gemological perspective, this peridot displays the characteristic optical and physical properties of olivine group material, presenting a distinct green hue with minimal yellow or brown overtone. The medium color intensity provides a lively face up appearance without appearing overly saturated, permitting clean light return through the step cut planes. The clarity assessment of very very slightly included at eye level indicates that the inclusions do not materially affect transparency or visual appeal when viewed unaided. The excellent polish contributes to crisp facet junctions and even light performance across the table and crown facets. No treatment or enhancement has been applied, which preserves the natural state of the crystal and is a key consideration for collectors seeking untreated material from a known locality.

The emerald cut shape has been executed to maximize the gem weight while maintaining strong proportions and symmetry, allowing the peridot to sit with visual stability in a variety of fine jewelry settings. The elongated rectangular outline and defined step facets tend to highlight internal clarity and color zoning when present, and in this instance the stone presents even color distribution and balanced facet reflections. Provenance from Tanzania adds a documented source that collectors value, as locality can influence both historical context and market appreciation. For a high end gemstone collection, this peridot offers a combination of transparent material, disciplined cutting, and an untreated state, attributes that are often prioritized alongside carat weight and exact measurements when assessing acquisition quality.

In addition to the peridot technical information, this description notes that our opal type listings include Semi Black Opal, which is characterized by a darker body tone combined with visible play of color, and is commonly considered a premium opal category for collectors and designers. The Natural Gemstone Company curates both single stones such as this peridot and a selection of opals including Semi Black Opal, providing documented origin and condition where available. The current peridot, with its clear lime green presentation, precise emerald cut, and stable gemological parameters, represents a refined addition to a curated cabinet of natural colored stones, suitable for collectors who prioritize natural state, cut quality, and transparent appearance.
