1.63 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

One beautiful transparent 1.63 carat emerald cut yellowish green peridot is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, offering precise dimensions of 7.92 x 6.00 x 3.86 mm. The stone is cut in an emerald shape, with clean step facets that emphasize even color distribution and linear brilliance, and it carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. Color intensity is recorded as intense, and the gem displays an excellent polish across all facets. No enhancement has been applied to this peridot, and its origin is Pakistan, which contributes to both its color profile and market appeal. The combination of weight, cut, and polish yields a gem that communicates presence without overwhelming wearability, making it suitable for a variety of jewelry designs where a clear, vivid green is desired.

The hue and tone of this Pakistani peridot are distinctly yellowish green, sitting toward the warmer end of the peridot color range, with a luminous, almost chartreuse quality when viewed under balanced daylight. The tone is medium to medium strong, which allows the gem to retain clarity and sparkle while presenting a saturated, intense color. The emerald cut gives the gem broad color planes, allowing the yellow component to become more apparent in larger facet faces, while flashes from the step facets introduce lighter, more reflective highlights. The lack of pleochroism means the hue remains consistent across viewing angles, and the very very slightly included clarity grade ensures that the inclusions do not interfere with the gem’s transparency or light performance. Overall the piece combines strong, pure color with a disciplined cut and polish to maximize optical appeal.

When compared to peridots and other green gemstones from famous locations, the hue and tone of this Pakistani peridot are differentiated in clear ways. Historically noted peridot from Zabargad Island in the Red Sea presented a pure lemon to grassy green, often with a slightly paler tone and a classic chrysolite appearance, whereas San Carlos Arizona peridot commonly exhibits a deeper, olive to brownish green tone with less yellow and more earthy depth. Pakistani peridot in this example leans more toward the vivid yellowish green, with a brightness and saturation that often exceeds those found in the Arizona material. Compared with peridot from Myanmar or China, which can range toward a pure green with less yellow bias, the Pakistani stone retains a distinct warm green identity that reads as lively and sunlit. In comparison to other green gem species, this peridot’s single hue and warm yellow contribution set it apart from Colombian emerald, which typically shows a bluish green that is deeper and cooler, and from tsavorite garnet, which displays an intense pure green with higher saturation and cooler undertones. Demantoid garnet, noted for its brilliance and dispersion, will read differently in tone and sparkle, but it will rarely present the same yellowish warmth that characterizes this Pakistani peridot.

This peridot’s combination of untreated origin, measured transparency, and precise emerald cut make it a practical choice for design and investment that prioritize natural color and optical integrity. The dimensions of 7.92 x 6.00 x 3.86 mm and the weight of 1.63 carat offer a balanced table to depth ratio, suitable for rings, pendants, and earrings where the stone’s broad facets can display its chartreuse brightness. For settings, metals that complement warm greens such as yellow gold will emphasize the yellow component, while white gold or platinum will read the peridot as slightly greener and brighter in contrast. Care instructions are to avoid sudden temperature changes and prolonged exposure to intense heat, to clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and to avoid abrasive cleaners, since these practices preserve polish and reduce the risk of surface nicks. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this gem with documentation of origin and the stated characteristics, supporting traceability and informed selection for designers and collectors who require clarity on enhancements and provenance.
