1.77 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

In the sunlit valleys of Pakistan, a journey took root deep within the embrace of ancient earth—a journey that would witness the creation of a beautiful gemstone now known to us as a green peridot. The rugged mountains and rich terrains have long been the birthplace of such gems, each bound in history and destined for beauty. With every seismic tremor and nurturing season of the earth, this peridot began its life, accumulating within it the essence of its surroundings and experiences. As time marched forward, the peridot emerged as a testament to nature's artistry, embodying both strength and delicacy within its magnificent form.

The story of this 1.77 carat cushion-shaped green peridot is one that traces its path from untamed nature to a treasure crafted for admiration. Delicately extracted from the heart of Pakistan's mineral-rich lands, this gem holds within it the whispers of winds that have traveled the ancient Silk Road, where stories and secrets have passed from one generation to the next. These lands, dotted with the footprints of miners who have dedicated their lives to uncovering such hidden jewels, offer their bounty only to those patient enough to unearth their treasures. This adds to the distinctive identity of each peridot, making them as diverse as the landscapes from which they are born.

Incisions within the peridot tell stories on their own—a language of inclusions that marks its individuality. These are unique identifiers, showcasing tiny, intricate worlds trapped within the stone that only enhance its character and authenticity. As a canvas for nature's art, the happening of these slight inclusions evokes the journey of its formation, from the tectonic pressure-filled passages to the welcoming palms of skilled artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company. Each slight imperfection is a cherished feature that depicts a narrative logged in time, visible reminders of its origin story and the vast journey composed within a neat arrangement of 8.02 x 6.04 x 4.39 mm.

As this peridot was expertly cut by the practiced hands of master craftsmen, it adopted a mixed brilliant cut that perfectly showcases its vivid internal spectrum. The dance of light across its surface is not merely reflected but refracted through harmonious angles that exhibit its medium intense green color, a hue as vibrant as the spring peaks of its birthplace. This craft of cutting demands great skill, precision, and respect for the natural state of the gem, producing an object that surges beyond mere beauty, evoking awe at each glance it graces. With an excellent polish, this piece radiates a crystal-clear transparency, accentuating its color and clarity where very slight inclusions have been evaluated at eye level, adding depth and authenticity.
