This exquisite transparent peridot is a finely proportioned 1.68 carat oval, measuring 9.12 by 7.22 by 3.55 millimeters, and it immediately announces itself with a vivid lime green hue and intense color saturation. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize light return, combining a faceted crown and a brilliant pavilion to produce strong scintillation and even flash across the table and pavilion facets. The result is notable brilliance for peridot, with lively face up performance that makes this stone a natural centerpiece in any collection. The polish is excellent, rendering crisp facet junctions and mirror like facet surfaces that support optimal light reflection and visual appeal. The oval outline and spread of this 1.68 carat gem give it an elegant presence, suitable for both classic and contemporary settings where the gem is intended to be the focal point.
From a technical and market perspective this specimen offers attributes that an educated buyer will appreciate. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates minor internal characteristics that do not significantly impact transparency or brilliance, and which are typically only noticeable under magnification or in specific lighting. There has been no enhancement, and the origin is Pakistan, a source known for producing high quality peridot crystals with strong natural color and clean material. The combination of intense natural color, transparent body, mixed brilliant cutting and excellent polish enhances durability of appearance and resale value, while the 1.68 carat weight and the generous table proportion deliver an attractive spread per carat. Peridot has a Mohs hardness of about 6.5 to 7, so normal wear is appropriate with sensible care to avoid hard knocks and harsh chemicals. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this peridot as a fine example of natural color and craftsmanship, suitable for collectors and connoisseurs seeking an unenhanced, strongly colored peridot with superior cut and eye appeal.
