2.31 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Afghanistan

This exceptionally rare heart shaped peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is presented as a private offering for discerning collectors and connoisseurs, a gem that immediately distinguishes itself from the ordinary by virtue of its purity, provenance, and handcrafted cut. We source only the most remarkable stones, and this piece exemplifies our commitment to natural beauty and exclusive availability. With just a single stone of this precise weight, color, and cut in our current reserve, ownership confers membership in a small circle of patrons who appreciate the subtleties that distinguish museum quality gems from mass market alternatives. The combination of a lime green hue, natural transparency, and an origin in Afghanistan elevates this peridot to an object of desire for those who value authenticity, provenance, and enduring elegance.

At the heart of this gem is a masterful mixed brilliant cut that maximizes light return and creates scintillation that is both lively and nuanced. The skillful arrangement of pavilion and crown facets in this mixed brilliant design creates a layered brightness, allowing flashes of fire to dance across the surface, while a proportionate table and symmetrical lobes retain crisp, heart shaped character. Weighing 2.31 carats, and measuring 8.47 x 9.09 x 5.06 mm, the stone strikes a rare balance between presence and refinement, large enough to command attention as a centerpiece, yet cut with the restraint and precision that preserve depth and internal vitality. The excellent polish enhances facet separation, allowing each plane to catch light cleanly, while the heart outline remains graceful and well defined, making this peridot suitable for an intimate pendant or a bespoke ring designed to showcase its extraordinary radiance.

Clarity and color are integral to the gem story, and this peridot delivers on both counts. It is transparent, with a clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that assures minimal distraction to the eye while confirming that the stone is a natural crystal formed over eons. The medium color intensity of lime green is particularly evocative, conveying fresh, verdant energy that shifts subtly with ambient light, from sunny, citrus bright green to deeper olive flashes. There has been no enhancement applied to this gem, and its natural state is precisely what makes it so desirable. Originating from Afghanistan, a source known for producing peridot with character and depth, this gem carries geological history and geographic distinction, attributes that collectors prize for both aesthetic and ethical reasons.
