1.59 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Tanzania

This is one beautiful transparent 1.59 carat cushion shape peridot, a vivid lime green that captures the eye and the imagination, measuring 7.36 by 6.78 by 4.25 millimeters. Cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and depth, this gem carries a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a medium color intensity, and an excellent polish. It is entirely natural, with no enhancement, and its origin is Tanzania. From its precise proportions to its clean, lively tone, this peridot is a rare find in a size and quality that makes it ideal for a signature ring or a centerpiece pendant. The cushion silhouette combines classic elegance with contemporary poise, and the mixed brilliant facets create flashes of lime that dance across the surface, drawing attention without demanding it.

The journey of this peridot began deep within the volcanic soils of Tanzania, where pockets of olivine crystals form over millennia under intense heat and pressure. It was discovered by seasoned prospectors working select claims known for producing peridot of superior hue, in a place where each find is treated with reverence and care. The raw crystal was carefully extracted by hand, cleaned gently to reveal the hidden color, and then transported under secure conditions to a trusted lapidary atelier. In the hands of our cutter, the rough was studied with a jeweler eye, to honor its natural shape and internal character. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant orientation to balance weight retention and brilliance, shaping the piece into a cushion form that enhances the stone s natural lime vibrance. This deliberate approach preserved its slightly included clarity profile while coaxing out an excellent polish, and at no stage was the stone subjected to treatments or enhancements.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate such gemstones for discerning clients who seek more than beauty alone. Owning this peridot means joining a select group who appreciate provenance, craftsmanship, and authenticity. Each facet of this gem tells a chapter of its journey, and its modest inclusions are proof of its natural origin, not a flaw but a fingerprint of time. Because these gems are uncommon at this size and with this combination of color and clarity, availability is strictly limited. When set by a premier jeweler, this cushion peridot will glow against both yellow and white metals, and its medium color intensity ensures it reads as a lively green in sunlight, while retaining a softer, more intimate glow under candlelight. Whether destined for a bespoke commission or to become an heirloom piece, this peridot carries an immediacy and exclusivity that mass produced stones cannot match.
