1.85 Ct. Peridot from Afghanistan

There is a certain magnetism in gemstones that span centuries, and this Afghan peridot speaks directly to that living tradition. Peridot is a gem with roots that reach into the earliest chapters of human adornment, treasured by artisans and collectors who valued its fresh green glow as a symbol of renewal and protection. This piece carries that lineage, cut in the classic emerald cut to echo the restrained elegance of bygone eras, while its clear transparency invites the kind of quiet contemplation that collectors prize. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that continuity, offering stones that are as true to their geological story as they are beautiful when set in heirloom design. The result is a gemstone that feels at once ancient in inspiration and entirely suited to modern refinement.

Measured with precision, this peridot weighs 1.85 carat, a weight that in this size category signifies premium presence without overwhelming the hand. The dimensions of 7.26 by 5.88 by 5.79 mm give it a balanced profile that flatters a range of settings, from classic solitaires to restrained three stone rings. The emerald cut enhances its linear grace, producing broad, shimmering facets that showcase the medium intense green that is so characteristic of fine peridot. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which speaks to its natural origin and imparts a sense of authenticity that many collectors prefer to laboratory perfection. The polish is excellent, allowing light to glide across every plane and amplify the stone s internal glow. Importantly for discerning buyers, this peridot has undergone no enhancement, presenting its color and character in a wholly natural state, and its Afghan origin links it to one of the world s most respected sources for vibrant peridot specimens.

Owning a gemstone like this is about more than immediate beauty, it is about stewardship of a small piece of Earth s history that can be passed through generations. The 1.85 carat weight delivers a notable statement, ideal for someone seeking a piece that reads as both significant and wearable, a gem that holds its own in a fine ring or stands as a centerpiece in a bespoke pendant. Its emerald cut lends itself to classical settings that emphasize symmetry and proportion, designs that have endured because they communicate balance and taste. For those who value provenance, the Afghan origin and the absence of enhancement offer assurance of natural artistry, and the slightly included clarity at eye level affirms that this gem is a product of nature rather than fabrication. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on mounting options that honor this gem s history, suggesting settings in warm yellow gold to echo the stone s sunny temperament, or in platinum for a cooler, more modern contrast.
