1.56 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

This exquisite specimen from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent 1.56 carat emerald cut green peridot, expertly faceted to dimensions of 8.19 x 6.05 x 3.76 mm, a gem that combines clean lines with luminous depth. The emerald cut emphasizes the stones clarity and the precision of its facets, showcasing an intense color intensity that glows with a pure green reminiscent of sunlit leaves. Graded at very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, this peridot offers an uncommon balance of near pristine clarity and natural character, while the excellent polish maximizes light return and surface brilliance. There is no enhancement, the color and clarity are entirely natural, and the origin in Pakistan speaks to a rich geological heritage that imparts a distinct personality to this gem.

When you compare this peridot to other green gemstones on the market, its advantages become clear. Unlike emeralds which often carry heavy inclusions and require oils or other treatments to improve appearance, this Pakistani peridot arrives untreated, with its intense hue present straight from the earth. Compared with tsavorite and chrome tourmaline, which can command premium prices for similar eye clean sizes, this 1.56 carat peridot offers exceptional value without sacrificing vibrancy or presence. Against synthetic stones and simulants, the natural origin and the unenhanced state of this peridot deliver authenticity that cannot be replicated in a lab. The emerald cut is particularly superior for this stone because its step facets create a mirror like hall of light, lending a tailored elegance that outshines many rounded or brilliant cuts when set in refined modern or vintage settings.

There is a romantic story woven into the soft green of this peridot, a story that makes it an ideal gift for lovers and collectors alike. Imagine a valley in northern Pakistan at first light, where dew clings to new leaves and the world is washed in a vivid green that seems to promise renewal. That dawn green is the same hue found in this gem, a color that speaks of fresh beginnings and enduring growth. The clarity of the stone, rated very very slightly included, mirrors the honest transparency of a true relationship, where each facet reflects trust and each polished plane catches light in a way that reveals the heart beneath. This peridot can be thought of as a memory made tangible, a keepsake that carries the warmth of sunrise and the quiet conviction of promises kept.
