Nestled deep within the ancient terrains of Afghanistan lies a gem of timeless beauty and historic significance: the enchanting green peridot. Crafted by nature over millennia, this exquisite 1.77 carat peridot boasts dimensions of 6.91 x 6.90 x 5.10 mm, sharing a lineage with stones revered by ancient cultures.

The story of peridot stretches back thousands of years, with roots deeply entwined with mythology and antiquity. Known as the 'gem of the sun' by the ancient Egyptians, this alluring green stone was believed to hold protective powers, warding against evil spirits as one of Cleopatra's favorite gemstones. The Romans, too, appreciated the peridot for its hypnotic ability to catch sunlight by day and moonlight by night, using it as a talisman for clarity and foresight. This particular gem's medium intense color intensity embodies nature's splendor, connecting its owner to a past where each stone was a token of the earth's majesty and mystery.
