1.84 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Afghanistan

This transparent oval peridot weighs 1.84 carats, with dimensions 8.30 x 7.34 x 4.55 mm, and has been faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to optimize both color saturation and light return. The stone displays an intense lime green hue that is unusually vivid for peridot, with an excellent polish that enhances its clean facet junctions and overall optical performance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates only minor natural inclusions that do not detract from the gem s transparency or sparkle when set in jewelry. There has been no enhancement, and the gem originates from Afghanistan, a source known for producing high quality peridot material with strong color saturation. The mixed brilliant cut combined with the measured proportions produces lively scintillation and even color distribution across the table, making this gem particularly suitable for a solitaire or halo setting where both fire and pure green tone are required.

For the informed buyer this peridot is notable for rarity in both size and color, two attributes that materially affect desirability and market value. Peridot typically occurs in smaller sizes or with more olive or yellow bias, while intensely lime green examples over 1.5 carats are comparatively uncommon, especially when they are transparent and free from significant inclusions. The absence of heat treatment or other enhancements preserves the natural character of the stone, and the Afghan origin further reinforces its appeal, because material from that region is often prized for clarity and pure green tones with minimal brown or yellow overtones. At approximately 58 percent depth relative to diameter the proportions are well balanced, supporting strong brilliance without sacrificing carat retention. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this peridot as a collector worthy piece, both for use in fine jewelry and for buyers who appreciate documented natural origin, honest grading, and the geological explanation of color which arises from iron content in olivine. In summary, this peridot combines rare size, a striking lime green color, fine clarity, and natural origin, attributes that make it a valuable addition to a curated gemstone collection.
