1.67 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

One beautiful transparent 1.67 carat cushion shape green peridot from Pakistan is presented here, with measurements of 8.08 x 6.22 x 4.04 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, and a clarity grade of very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level. The color sits in a lively lime green with medium color intensity, and the stone has an excellent polish that allows light to move freely across its surfaces. There is no enhancement, which means the hue and clarity you see are wholly natural, straight from the mine to the cutter, and then to you. The cushion silhouette gives the stone a soft rectangular outline with rounded corners, a shape that flatters both classic and contemporary settings, and the overall transparency and even color distribution make this peridot a striking individual gem that reads larger than its carat weight might suggest.

The mixed brilliant cut is the key reason this particular peridot outperforms many alternatives on the market, because it combines the best of pavilion brilliance with crown sparkle, the shallow facets on top and the deeper canted facets beneath are arranged to trap and reflect light internally, producing lively scintillation even under modest lighting. The cutter optimized the table size and crown height to balance light return with color saturation, so the stone keeps its vivid lime green without looking washed out or overly dark. Compared with simple step cuts or poor quality commercial cuts that yield flat flashes and dead windows, this mixed brilliant cushion returns a lively patchwork of reflected light, with a dynamic play of flashes as the stone moves. The excellent polish enhances facet junctions, reducing light leakage at microscopic edges, and the result is a clean, glassy surface that throws crisp highlights. In practical terms, you will notice more sparkle in everyday wear, more depth when viewed at an angle, and a richer presence in a jewelry setting than you would get from many mass market peridots that are either heavily included, poorly cut, or treated to mask faults.

When you compare this peridot to other options available, the advantages become clear, because quality in colored gemstones is always about the combination of cut, color, clarity, and origin, and this piece scores highly in each category. Stones of similar weight that come from unknown sources often show uneven color zoning or require enhancement to reach marketable hues, but this peridot from Pakistan delivers a pure, untreated color, giving you authenticity and longevity of beauty. Compared with higher priced green gems, such as chrome tourmaline or green sapphire, peridot offers an exceptional value proposition, providing a vivid green that reads fresh and modern at a fraction of the cost, while still offering the visual performance that matters most in jewelry. At 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, peridot will wear well in rings and pendants with normal care, and the compact dimensions of 8.08 x 6.22 x 4.04 mm make it very versatile for custom settings, whether you are seeking a solitaire look, a halo design, or an accent gem in a bespoke piece. From The Natural Gemstone Company you receive not only the gem itself, but also the assurance that it has been selected for its natural color, careful cutting, and honest description, qualities that translate into both confidence in your purchase and enduring enjoyment on the finger, wrist, or necklace.
