1.34 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

This offering from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent peridot weighing 1.34 carat, fashioned in a classic trillion shape and precision faceted to optimize light performance. The stone measures 6.92 millimeters by 7.12 millimeters by 4.59 millimeters, yielding an effective depth ratio of approximately sixty five percent, a dimension that supports strong internal light return without excessive windowing or a closed appearance. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which means small mineral inclusions are present but do not dominate the visual field. Color intensity is classified as intense, exhibiting a vivid yellowish green that is emblematic of fine Pakistani peridot, and the piece carries an excellent polish and no enhancements, preserving native optical characteristics and natural stability.

From a cutting and craftsmanship perspective, the trillion cut of this peridot has been executed with attention to facet geometry and symmetry, to maximize both face up color saturation and dynamic scintillation. The faceting scheme emphasizes a relatively broad crown and a well proportioned pavilion, creating a kaleidoscopic pattern of light return across the three lobes. The polish quality is excellent, allowing clean transmission of light through the crown and minimal surface diffusion, which together enhance the stone s vitreous luster. Given peridot s typical refractive index band near 1.65 to 1.69, and birefringence in the order of 0.036, the cutter has balanced table size and facet angles to produce pronounced doubled facets and crisp facet junctions, while controlling internal reflections so that brilliance and scintillation remain lively rather than muddled.

When comparing reflective qualities, this Pakistani peridot displays the characteristic peridot combination of lively brilliance with modest dispersion. Relative to other peridots, this specimen s intense yellowish green face up color and careful trillion faceting yield superior contrast and sparkle, especially when viewed in mixed lighting, compared with peridots that exhibit paler tones or flatter facet work. Against other green gem species, the peridot s light behavior is distinct. Compared with tsavorite garnet, which typically shows higher refractive index and greater fire, this peridot offers a more luminous, olive clarity without the pronounced spectral flashes that garnet can produce. Compared with green tourmaline, which often demonstrates stronger pleochroism and deeper, more saturated green hues, this peridot presents a brighter, more yellow biased green that reads as livelier in smaller sizes. Compared with emerald, which often displays strong saturation but lower transparency due to inclusions, this peridot combines clean transparency with an intense color, providing higher apparent brilliance and a vivid presence in open settings.

For practical application in jewelry, the trillion silhouette and the gemstone s measurements lend themselves well to solitary rings, bezel framed pendants, or three stone configurations where the peridot can be the centerpiece. The slightly included clarity grade suggests an open mounting will showcase the stone s transparency and color, while a secure prong setting will protect the delicate points of the trillion outline. Metal choices such as warm yellow gold will harmonize with the yellowish green hue, enhancing face up warmth, while white metals will emphasize contrast and a more modern aesthetic. Because there are no enhancements, the color will remain stable under routine wear, and the excellent polish will preserve surface brilliance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this peridot as a technically refined example of Pakistani material, ideally suited for buyers who appreciate precise facet cutting, honest clarity grading, and naturally intense coloration.
