1.70 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

One exquisite and rare treasure from our private collection, this transparent 1.70 carat cushion shape green peridot is an exceptional example of nature refined by skilled lapidary hands. With dimensions of 6.73 x 6.69 x 4.68 mm, the gem presents a perfectly balanced profile that sits elegantly in the palm and translates into stunning presence once set. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to enhance fire and scintillation while preserving the gem weight and classic cushion silhouette. Its clarity grade is slightly included evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that affirms natural formation and offers internal character without compromising visual appeal. The color intensity is intense, with a lush green tone that reads as both vivid and sophisticated, and the polish is excellent, giving the surface a mirror like finish that elevates the peridot to fine gem status. This stone has received no enhancement, and its origin in Pakistan adds a layer of provenance that collectors recognize as significant. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this peridot as a singular opportunity for connoisseurs who value rarity, authenticity, and artisanal refinement.

The aesthetic qualities of this peridot are rare for its size and clarity type, making it an immediate focal point for bespoke jewelry or secure vaulting in a discerning collection. The cushion shape remains timeless, favored by collectors who appreciate the way this form softens a vibrant green hue while maintaining maximum light return through a mixed brilliant arrangement. Slightly included at eye level communicates that the gem is natural and untreated, and in peridot such inclusions often act as a fingerprint of origin and geological history rather than a detractor. The excellent polish ensures that every facet edge remains crisp and that light travels through the body of the gem with minimal surface diffusion. The intense color intensity is particularly important in peridot valuation, as saturation and tone are primary drivers of desirability, and this specimen carries that saturation with clarity and depth. Its Pakistani origin provides added narrative value, given that select mines in Pakistan have produced some of the most sought after peridots in recent years, and supply from those sources is limited and increasingly difficult to secure.

From an investment perspective this peridot is exceptionally well positioned for appreciation over time, for reasons rooted in supply, demand, and intrinsic quality. High quality, untreated colored gemstones are attracting attention as alternative assets, and peridot is entering a phase where collectors and investors are recognizing the upside potential in well provenanced, vividly colored examples. Historically peridot has been under appreciated relative to sapphires, emeralds, and rubies, creating an opportunity set for early acquisitions of superior specimens before broader market recognition expands. This particular stone benefits from its rarity in being transparent at 1.70 carats with intense green coloration and an excellent polish, attributes that align closely with what informed buyers seek when building a collection intended for long term appreciation. Additionally, geopolitical and logistic challenges affecting mining regions can constrain future supply, and stones with documented origin from Pakistan may become increasingly prized. Untreated status is crucial, because enhancement free gems command premiums among collectors who prioritize natural state, and such gems typically hold value better and appreciate more reliably. By choosing this peridot you are selecting an asset that balances aesthetic enjoyment with a thoughtful approach to scarcity and market dynamics.
