1.77 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

This fine peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent 1.77 carat, emerald cut, yellowish green gemstone with dimensions of 8.05 x 6.01 x 4.16 mm. The stone exhibits a medium intense color intensity and an excellent polish, and it is offered as natural, with no enhancement. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone is largely eye clean and presents with only minimal internal characteristics that do not distract from the overall visual appeal. Peridot is a gem variety of the olivine mineral group, colored by iron, and it typically displays refractive indices in the approximate range of 1.65 to 1.69, a birefringence commonly cited near 0.036, a specific gravity around 3.27 to 3.37, and a Mohs hardness near 6.5 to 7. These physical properties make peridot durable enough for everyday jewelry with appropriate care, and the lovely medium intense yellowish green hue of this specimen will be immediately recognizable in both natural and artificial light.

The emerald cut of this peridot has been chosen to emphasize the stone s color and clarity, rather than maximize scintillation, and that decision benefits buyers who favor clean, architectural lines and color purity. The step facets of an emerald cut create broad flashes of color and depth, making the medium intense saturation read strongly across the table and open facets. Excellent polish enhances facet definition and ensures a crisp, reflective surface, which further elevates eye appeal. The very slightly included clarity grade, assessed at eye level, indicates that potential inclusions are small and well positioned, with negligible impact on durability. The fact that this peridot is offered without any enhancement increases its desirability among educated buyers who prize untreated material for both aesthetic integrity and long term value. The stone s stated origin of Pakistan is notable, because documented provenance from responsible sources is increasingly important to collectors and institutional buyers.

From an investment perspective this peridot offers several positive attributes that support potential appreciation over time, while also requiring realistic expectations. High quality peridot of this size, with medium intense color, an eye clean appearance, an excellent polish, and no enhancement, sits in a narrower supply band than the more abundant commercial material. Growing interest in colored gemstones among collectors, jewelry designers, and investors seeking portfolio diversification means demand can rise for distinctive, well documented pieces. Provenance matters, and Pakistani peridot that is natural and untreated can command a premium relative to anonymous material. Price momentum in the colored gemstone market is driven by rarity, color saturation, clarity, cut quality, and traceability, all of which are positive for this stone. That said there are no guarantees, and liquidity and appreciation depend on market conditions, provenance documentation, and the strength of buyer interest. For serious buyers, securing independent gemological certification, maintaining clear provenance records, and purchasing from reputable dealers such as The Natural Gemstone Company are prudent steps to preserve future resale value.

Practically this 8.05 x 6.01 x 4.16 mm emerald cut peridot is an excellent candidate for a refined ring, a striking pendant, or a bespoke designer commission. The balanced proportions of the cut will sit comfortably in common mounting styles, and the yellowish green tone pairs especially well with warm metals such as yellow gold, while also offering an attractive contrast in white gold or platinum settings. For collectors and investors who value untreated gems, the combination of carat weight, color intensity, eye level clarity, excellent polish, and documented Pakistani origin makes this peridot a compelling purchase. If you would like detailed certification options, a high resolution image set, or custom setting proposals, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide additional documentation, independent grading recommendations, and bespoke mounting services to help you make an informed acquisition.
