1.70 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

This peridot began its journey deep within the mountains of northern Pakistan, formed over eons in pockets of olivine that cooled and crystallized under the earth, carrying with it the quiet green of its birthplace. Hand recovered by local miners who know the folds of those hills like old maps, this gem arrived at our workshop with an unassuming raw beauty that promised radiance when revealed. At The Natural Gemstone Company we traced its origin and treated it with the respect such a story deserves, cutting it into a precise emerald cut that preserves the stone s transparency and linear elegance. The finished gem weighs 1.70 carat, measures 7.98 by 5.97 by 4.07 millimeters, and shows a yellowish green hue that reads as medium intense color intensity, a tone that looks alive in both sunlight and lamplight. Its clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which gives the stone character without distracting from the clean, open panes created by the emerald cut, and its polish is excellent, allowing the light to travel and reflect with a crisp, lively sparkle.

The hands that shaped this peridot selected the emerald cut to emphasize the stone s clarity and to create broad facets that showcase the gem s internal glow, all without any enhancement, so what you receive is the honest beauty of nature refined by skill. From the rough to the pavilion and table, the cutter considered proportions and symmetry to maintain brilliance while respecting the material s natural grain, resulting in a balanced gem that will sit beautifully in a ring, pendant, or bespoke design. When you choose this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company you are not only acquiring a 1.70 carat yellowish green peridot, you are buying into a tale of place and craft, a connection to Pakistani highland geology and to the artisans who coaxed the light from within. Let this peridot be the green anchor of your next creation, a transparent, finely polished reminder that some treasures are best when their journey from mine to market is preserved in every facet.
