1.83 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

This exceptional peridot from Pakistan, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a transparent 1.83 carat emerald cut gem, measuring 7.36 x 6.11 x 5.16 mm. Its emerald cut emphasizes the stone's clarity and produces broad, elegant step facets that allow the intense yellowish green hue to read evenly across the table, while the excellent polish delivers crisp reflections and lively internal flashes. Graded very slightly included at eye level, this piece is unusually clean for peridot of this size, and its lack of enhancement guarantees a natural appearance straight from the earth. The combination of an intense color intensity and a precise emerald cut gives the gem a commanding presence in any setting, channeling a modern, architectural aesthetic that complements both classic and contemporary jewelry designs.

In comparison with peridots and green gemstones from other famous locations, this Pakistani peridot stands out for its pure, vivid lime tone. Peridots from Zabargad Island in Egypt tend to show a deeper, more olive leaning green, often with a slightly darker tone, whereas Arizona peridot can carry a browner olive cast that mutes the brightness. By contrast, our Pakistani example displays a brighter, more luminous yellowish green that catches the eye with a lively, sunlit quality. When compared to other prized green gems, the hue and tone remain distinctive. Colombian emeralds are prized for a deeper bluish green and a velvety saturation, yet they frequently show significant inclusions and commonly require treatments to optimize appearance. Tsavorite garnet from East Africa offers a pure, vivid green with bluish undertones and excellent durability, but tsavorite typically has a darker tone and commands a premium price that is often many times higher than peridot of comparable visual impact. Demantoid garnet delivers high brilliance and a rich green tone, but it is rarer and typically available only in smaller sizes. In those comparisons, this Pakistani peridot delivers an intense, cheerful lime green that is lighter and more radiant than many emeralds and garnets, while offering exceptional value and natural clarity.

This peridot’s unique place among green gemstones creates a compelling value proposition for buyers who want striking color without the higher costs and treatments associated with some famous sources. The emerald cut allows the stone to wear larger than its carat weight might suggest, and its excellent polish enhances the clean, crisp lines that modern settings favor. Because the stone is free of enhancements, it offers the honesty and transparency collectors and designers appreciate, and its very slightly included clarity at eye level is a practical advantage over many emeralds and other greens that require disclosure of treatments. For those seeking a lively, yellowish green that rivals more expensive green stones in visual impact, while remaining accessible and reliable for everyday wear, this peridot from Pakistan represents a refined choice. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind its provenance and grading, and we encourage you to consider this gem for a center stone that combines luminous color, superior polish, and exceptional natural character.
