2.53 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

This elegant peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent 2.53 carat, emerald cut, yellowish green gem that measures 8.90 x 6.80 x 5.42 millimeters, faceted to maximize light return and visual stability. The emerald cut gives this stone refined step facets that emphasize the gem color and clarity, producing a window of intense, fresh yellow green that reads vibrantly both in daylight and under jewelry lighting. At eye level the clarity is graded slightly included, which in peridot often presents as fine, characterful internal features rather than distracting flaws, and the cutting has been executed to an excellent polish standard so that the table and facets deliver crisp facet junctions and lively luster. This peridot is untreated, no enhancement, which is a decisive value factor for discerning collectors who prioritize natural state gems that reveal their origin and character without modification.

From a gemological perspective, peridot is the gem quality variety of the olivine group, a magnesium iron silicate, and this example displays the classic single hue that connoisseurs prize, with strong saturation that pushes the color into an intense category rather than a mere pale green. The gem has been assessed for its optical and physical behavior, and it sits comfortably in the practical jewelry range with a Mohs hardness around six and a half to seven, and a refractive index that places it in a medium to high sparkle category for its class. The slightly included clarity noted at eye level is consistent with natural peridot from many classic localities, and because the stone is unenhanced these inclusions are natural identifiers that support provenance and authenticity claims. The excellent polish and precise emerald cut facets not only enhance visual appeal, but also preserve weight for a jeweler who wants to set this stone into a ring or pendant without sacrificing presence or durability.

Ethical sourcing is central to the story of this Pakistani peridot, and The Natural Gemstone Company takes care to document origin and chain of custody on every significant parcel, ensuring traceability from the mine to the market. For the conscious consumer this means that the stone has been procured with attention to fair labor practices, local community engagement, and minimized environmental disruption where possible, and that no heat, irradiation, or chemical treatments have been applied to alter color or clarity. These provenance details matter to educated buyers who are building a collection that reflects personal values as well as aesthetic standards. In addition, the clean, intense yellowish green tone and the sizable 2.53 carat weight make this peridot a rare and attractive option for collectors seeking natural colored gems with immediate wearability and long term appeal. For jewelry use we recommend settings that offer structural protection to the girdle and pavilion, such as a bezel or protective prong design, because while peridot polishes exceptionally well and presents radiant color, the stone benefits from a secure mounting to protect against accidental knocks.

This peridot is an excellent candidate for those who want a statement gem that balances rarity, beauty, and ethical provenance. Its emerald cut and excellent polish make it ideal for bold solitaire rings or elegant pendant designs that highlight the gem face, while the untreated status and documented Pakistani origin provide confidence for investment grade acquisitions and curated collections. The Natural Gemstone Company is available to provide detailed photos, independent verification where requested, and bespoke setting recommendations to integrate this gem smoothly into your design. For buyers who appreciate clear, factual gem information and traceable, responsibly sourced material, this 2.53 carat Pakistani peridot offers a compelling mix of aesthetic intensity and ethical integrity.
