2.35 Ct. Peridot from Pakistan

This transparent peridot weighs 2.35 carats, a noteworthy weight that provides considerable visual presence without compromising wearable proportions. The stone measures 8.48 by 6.05 by 5.28 millimeters, a dimensional profile that balances face up area and depth to optimize both color saturation and light return. At 2.35 carats, this peridot offers premium appeal for collectors and designers alike, providing a substantial canvas for the emerald cut. The weight translates into a pronounced table and step facet planes that present the stone with an authoritative appearance in rings, pendants, and bespoke settings, and the dimensional symmetry supports even light distribution and consistent color appearance across the table.

The gem is fashioned in an emerald cut, with clean, parallel step facets that emphasize clarity and color rather than scintillation. The combination of the emerald cut and the peridot’s intense yellowish green hue produces a sophisticated, clear window into the stone, enabling the eye to appreciate internal characteristics and color zoning in an unobstructed manner. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a grade that denotes minimal inclusions which do not detract from the overall visual purity when viewed without magnification. The transparency is high, and the excellent polish enhances surface brilliance, ensuring crisp facet junctions and smooth facet planes. No enhancement has been applied to this stone, so the color and clarity are wholly natural, which supports a premium classification among peridot examples.

Originating from Pakistan, this peridot reflects the geological conditions and gemological qualities associated with that region, including strong, saturated yellowish green tones and good transparency. The provenance contributes to the stone’s desirability, and the absence of treatments reinforces its natural state, a significant factor for discerning buyers. In practical terms, the 2.35 carat weight combined with the emerald cut and excellent polish makes this gem adaptable to a range of fine jewelry applications. A well considered setting will protect the corners while allowing the table and step facets to display the intense color, and the size is sufficient to serve as a striking center stone without overwhelming design balance.

For long term care, this peridot benefits from standard precautions appropriate for olivine gemstones, including protection from harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes, and cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Ultrasonic and steam cleaning are not recommended for stones with natural inclusions or where integrity could be affected. When selecting a mounting, consider a setting style that secures the stone while preserving the visibility of the table, such as a protective bezel with an open gallery or a four prong configuration with corner reinforcement. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the described attributes of this 2.35 carat emerald cut yellowish green peridot, presented as a premium, untreated specimen suitable for both high quality jewelry projects and private collections.
