14.62 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

This specimen is a beautiful transparent 14.62 carat cushion shape green peridot, precisely measured at 22.79 x 11.07 x 6.44 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant faceting scheme that balances scintillation and depth of color. The gem displays an intense green color intensity that is characteristic of high quality olivine, and its proportions create a broad table and generous pavilion that enhance the visual presence of the stone when set. The mixed brilliant cut preserves fire and sparkle while maintaining a classic cushion silhouette that is highly adaptable to a range of jewelry styles from bespoke rings to statement pendants. The excellent polish contributes to crisp facet junctions and bright surface luster, making the stone read as lively and vivid in both daylight and artificial lighting conditions.

Grading details that matter to an educated buyer are straightforward and favorable for this piece. Clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates small internal features that do not materially detract from the gem’s overall transparency or brilliance to a casual observer. In practical terms this peridot appears eye clean in most settings, with inclusions that are typically only noticeable under 10x magnification or with concentrated light. There has been no enhancement to this stone, a characteristic that significantly increases its appeal to collectors and investors because of the natural and stable nature of the material. Origin is Pakistan, a well-known source for high quality peridot specimens, and provenance from a reputable locality adds a measurable premium, as regional origin can affect perceived rarity and desirability in both secondary markets and auction contexts.

For the discerning buyer, several technical and market factors combine to make this peridot a noteworthy acquisition. Peridot, as an olivine-group mineral, commonly exhibits strong yellow-green to pure green tones governed by iron content, and this example’s intense and well-saturated hue is highly sought after. The combination of above-average size at 14.62 carats and a cushion shape that optimizes face-up color is uncommon, since larger clean peridots are significantly rarer than smaller stones. The absence of heat treatment, irradiation, or dyeing practices further enhances long-term value, because untreated natural gems are preferred by collectors and are easier to resell. As an additional note for collectors seeking a varied portfolio of natural stones, The Natural Gemstone Company also catalogs companion materials such as White Opal, which can serve as a complementary offering when designing paired pieces or creating a diversified gemstone collection.

From an investment perspective this peridot presents several compelling attributes that support future appreciation. Large, eye-pleasing examples of natural, untreated peridot are limited in supply, and stable provenance from recognized producing regions like Pakistan helps distinguish this gem in the marketplace. Demand for distinctive colored gemstones continues to grow among private collectors and designers seeking alternatives to traditional market leaders, and well-documented, untreated gems with excellent polish and appealing cuts typically maintain liquidity in primary and secondary markets. To preserve value and enhance resale prospects, we recommend careful documentation, including photographic records and an independent gemological report when available, and secure storage or insurance if the stone is purchased as an investment. Practical considerations such as peridot’s Mohs hardness near 6.5 to 7 mean that sensible settings and regular, gentle maintenance will protect the stone and preserve its condition. Buyers who prefer to diversify their holdings may consider pairing peridot with other natural gem types, for example White Opal from our curated selection, to balance aesthetic variety and market behavior across gem categories. When you acquire this piece through The Natural Gemstone Company you gain not only a visually striking 14.62 carat peridot, but also our commitment to transparency, provenance, and specialist guidance, all of which support both enjoyment and long term value retention.
