1.57 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

One beautiful transparent 1.57 carat emerald cut yellowish green peridot from Pakistan is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, a gem that articulates refined technical craftsmanship and a bold chromatic presence. The stone measures 8.07 x 6.04 x 3.65 mm, it carries an emerald cut with precise step faceting and gently clipped corners, it is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and it exhibits a vivid color intensity with an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement to alter its natural state. From a design and connoisseurship perspective this peridot presents an immediate visual statement, its saturated yellowish green tone functioning as a symbol of personal power and distinction, while the transparency and controlled clarity allow the color to read at full strength under both natural daylight and artificial illumination.

The emerald cut faceting is executed to emphasize broad, planar step facets on the crown and pavilion, creating a hall of mirrors effect that reinforces the stone’s color saturation and internal depth. The rectangular outline with trimmed corners and large table produces expansive color plains rather than small, scintillating flashes, which is desirable for collectors who prioritize hue and body color. With dimensions of 8.07 x 6.04 x 3.65 mm the depth proportion is approximately 52 percent relative to the average of length and width, a dimensioning that balances color concentration with light transmission. The excellent polish ensures that facet junctions are clean and that light passes through unobstructed, permitting the peridot’s vivid yellowish green to remain consistent across viewing angles, and the step facet geometry provides controlled reflections that highlight the gem’s internal clarity characteristics.

From a gemological perspective peridot derives its color from ferrous iron substituting in the olivine crystal lattice, producing the characteristic olive to yellowish green palette. The piece on offer presents a vivid intensity, indicating a well balanced iron content that yields brightness without excessive brownish or olive overtones. Peridot is orthorhombic and typically displays moderate birefringence, which in a step cut can manifest as slight doubling of facet edges or internal features when viewed at oblique angles, an optical trait that adds to the stone’s internal liveliness without compromising color uniformity. The clarity grade of very very slightly included, assessed at eye level, connotes only minute internal features that do not detract from the gem’s visual impact to the unaided eye, and under magnification the inclusions are limited and well distributed. The lack of enhancements confirms that the color and clarity are entirely natural, and provenance from Pakistan reflects a source known for producing peridot specimens with saturated hues and good transparency.

For collectors and clients seeking a piece that conveys authority and refinement the rich bold color of this peridot reads as an emblem of personal power and distinction, suitable for statement rings, signet style settings, or a solo pendant that allows the stone to dominate the visual field. The emerald cut works particularly well in settings that expose the pavilion to light while protecting the trimmed corners, four prong or bezel designs with open galleries will preserve the integrity of the step facets and allow maximum color transmission. Practical care recommendations for maintaining the stone’s finish and appearance include gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoidance of harsh chemical exposures and extreme thermal shock, and professional inspection if the setting is subject to daily wear. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the gem with detailed documentation of weight, dimensions, cut form, clarity notation, color intensity, polish grade, enhancement status, and origin, and we offer bespoke mounting consultations to ensure the peridot’s vivid yellowish green presence is showcased to its fullest potential, as an enduring symbol of distinction.
