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

There are few gemstones that carry with them the quiet dignity of age and origin in the way this peridot does, and this single stone tells a story that reaches back through centuries of trade, craftsmanship, and reverence. Hailing from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land long celebrated for yielding gems that defined eras of jewelry design, this lime green peridot reflects the same timeless appeal that ancient cultures admired. In antiquity peridot was treasured as a stone of protection and renewal, carried on islands and along trading routes where its vivid green light was likened to the first leaves of spring. The Natural Gemstone Company honors that lineage by presenting this peridot not as a mere commodity, but as a continuing expression of heritage, a bridge between classical aesthetics and contemporary refinement.

Measured at 1.35 carat, in a graceful oval form with dimensions of 8.12 x 6.07 x 3.90 mm, this gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style that marries the scintillating fire of fine faceting with a shape that flatters and elongates. The medium color intensity of its lime green hue is vivid without overpowering, offering a clarity of tone that reads as fresh and luminous under varied light. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, which to the naked eye translates into a beautifully clean appearance, and the excellent polish ensures that each facet catches and returns light with a polished mirror like response. The stone has been heat treated to enhance its natural color and stability, a considered enhancement that respects the gem s original character while allowing its best qualities to shine. From the crown to the pavilion, from the table to the girdle, the precision of the cut and the balance of proportions render the peridot visually coherent, so that its surface seems to glow as if from within, and so that its apparent flawlessness at a glance magnifies its beauty from every angle.

In settings that honor tradition and legacy this peridot will perform as a focal point that feels both ancient and immediate. The oval outline lends itself to classical ring designs, to pendants that rest close to the heart, and to heirloom pieces destined to be passed down through generations. The mixed brilliant cut creates a dynamic interplay of brilliance and scintillation, so that when the wearer moves, the gem responds with lively flashes that recall torchlit courts and careful hands. Despite the subtle natural inclusions that give the gem its unique internal fingerprint, the overall presentation is one of near pristine clarity when seen without magnification, and that perceived flawlessness enhances the sense of continuity with gemstones of historic renown. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this peridot as a statement of enduring taste, an adornment that favors restraint and craft over transient trends, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs who prize provenance and polished tradition.

Owning this peridot is an invitation to participate in a lineage of collectors and artisans who valued stones for their story as much as their spectacle. The dimensions and carat weight make it versatile enough for bespoke commissions, while the excellent polish and mixed brilliant cut promise exceptional performance in a variety of light conditions.
