At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that the right gem must satisfy both the heart and the standards of connoisseurship, and this 2.17 carat cushion shape yellowish green peridot has been chosen to do exactly that. Its presence is immediate, and its promise is durable, because it combines a compelling weight with proportions that translate beautifully into jewelry. The cushion outline brings a soft, classic silhouette that flatters a finger or a pendant, while the mixed brilliant cut invites light deep into the pavilion and returns it as lively, lively sparkle. For anyone who has paused over too many similar stones, this peridot gives the relief of certainty, a rare harmony of color depth, clarity, and cut that makes the selection process end gracefully.

The story of this gemstone begins high in the rugged terrains of Pakistan, where peridot crystals form in pockets of the earth under conditions that produce their distinctive olive to yellowish green hue. Skilled miners working in remote sites bring rough material to light by hand, and local sorters identify pieces with the best potential for transparency and color. From that rough, cutters with decades of regional experience select a portion that will yield a well balanced cushion outline, and the decision to execute a mixed brilliant cut is deliberate. The mixed approach means that the crown reflects bright, scintillating facets while the pavilion maintains deeper facets for return of light and warmth, a blend that enhances the stone's intense color intensity and natural transparency. The rough was carefully shaped and calibrated to retain as much weight as possible, resulting in the exact dimensions of 8.23 by 6.68 by 4.86 millimeters and a finished weight of 2.17 carats. Every facet received meticulous attention to achieve an excellent polish, and the finished gem carries no enhancements, a fact that preserves the natural character and provenance of the stone.

Examined carefully this peridot offers a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a natural signature that tells the story of its formation without compromising its visual appeal. Slightly included in this context means that there are minor internal features which are part of the gem's natural identity, features that do not interfere with the gem's lively transmission of light or its intense, saturated color. The yellowish green tone is particularly desirable because it balances warmth and verdant freshness, producing a hue that reads as vivid in natural daylight and luminous under indoor lighting. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and fire in the visible spectrum, while the cushion shape gives a contemporary yet timeless feel which suits a wide range of settings from classic four prong solitaires to halo and vintage inspired mountings. The dimensions of 8.23 by 6.68 by 4.86 millimeters offer substantial presence on the hand, and the 2.17 carat weight gives tangible heft that feels meaningful for an engagement piece or a prominent collector specimen. Origin from Pakistan adds to the stone's story, offering provenance that collectors and thoughtful buyers value, and the fact that there has been no enhancement ensures the color and clarity you see are true to the earth.
