1.48 Ct. Peridot from Madagascar

One exquisite heart shaped peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company invites a close look, a transparent 1.48 carat gem cut into a delicate heart with dimensions of 7.87 x 7.93 x 4.41 mm. The stone shows an intense yellowish green that is vivid and lively, a hue that reads fresh and luminous under a variety of lighting conditions. The cut is a mixed brilliant style, designed to balance scintillation and depth, and it is finished with an excellent polish that allows each facet to sing. Clarity is rated very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning the gem reads eye clean to most buyers while retaining natural character under magnification. This peridot is untreated with no enhancement, a truly natural specimen from Madagascar, a source known for producing lively tones and well formed crystals, and it offers an appealing combination of beauty and geological authenticity.

When compared with other green gemstones on the market this heart peridot delivers several decisive advantages. Against emeralds it offers a brighter, cleaner looking green at a fraction of the price, without the common treatments and oiling often seen with emerald material. Compared with tsavorite garnet and green tourmaline, this peridot presents a unique yellowish green spectrum that appears warmer and more vibrant in daylight, making it an excellent choice for designs that require eye catching color rather than deeper forest tones. Versus synthetic or heavily treated stones this Madagascar peridot stands out because it is natural and untreated, a selling point for collectors and discerning buyers who value provenance and integrity. The heart shape and mixed brilliant cut are particularly strong in one of this size, producing a lively table and crown play that rivals higher price per carat gems while maintaining exceptional value.

Practical considerations make this gem an attractive choice for everyday jewelry and bespoke pieces. With its 7.87 x 7.93 x 4.41 mm footprint the peridot sits comfortably within ring profiles for both solitaire and halo settings, and it will also adapt beautifully to a pendant or a set of matching earrings. Peridot rates about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, which means it wears well with reasonable care, and the excellent polish helps resist surface wear so the stone continues to look lively over time. Because this gem is natural and untreated you avoid the uncertainty that comes with enhanced material, and its very very slightly included clarity grade means it sparkles with a crisp, lively appearance that will attract compliments. For customers weighing options between value and beauty, this heart peridot is a rare balance of both, offering a fresh alternative to darker greens while being easier to set and pair with a wider range of metals and design styles.

Beyond physical attributes many people value peridot for its traditional metaphysical associations, and this Madagascar heart carries those qualities with natural beauty. Peridot has long been associated with the heart chakra and emotional balancing, traditionally believed to help release negative patterns and invite renewal and openness in relationships. Crystal practitioners and those who seek energetic support often view peridot as a stone of abundance and prosperity, associated with attracting opportunity and promoting clarity of intention. It is also thought to offer protective qualities, a sense of lightness that can dissipate tension and encourage joy and creativity in daily life. Whether you are choosing this heart peridot as a meaningful gift, a symbol of love, or a focal point for mindful practice, The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind its provenance and the natural state of this gem.
