2.99 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

Across centuries and civilizations peridot has been treasured as a stone of sunlight and renewal, a gem that has adorned the diadems of rulers and the talismans of travelers, and this exquisite cushion shaped peridot from Pakistan carries that same ageless allure. Weighing 2.99 carats, sitting at 8.69 x 7.50 x 5.82 mm, and cut in a graceful cushion outline with a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, this transparent lime green specimen presents a harmony of form and color that speaks to tradition. The medium color intensity of the green is vivid without being theatrical, and the hue evokes verdant meadows caught in a clear afternoon light. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present stones like this one because they represent the continuity of natural beauty and artisanal skill, a living link between ancient reverence for peridot and the modern desire for timeless elegance.

Viewed from any angle this peridot communicates a seemingly flawless presence, because the clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, giving the gem an eye clean face up appearance that allows light to move freely through its body. The mixed brilliant cut is engineered to balance scintillation and depth, and each precisely polished facet reflects and refracts light to create a lively dance of flashes that animate the cushion silhouette. The excellent polish enhances facet junctions so that every plane meets with crisp definition, and the result is a gem that appears almost luminous from the crown, and that reveals layered tones of lime and chartreuse as the viewing angle shifts. Because this peridot has undergone no enhancement, its internal and external qualities are the direct outcome of nature and masterful cutting, which makes the gem a truthful expression of provenance and purity.

This peridot is more than a single jewel, it is a heirloom in waiting, a piece that will carry personal stories while connecting its wearer to a long heritage of gemstone appreciation. The origin in Pakistan adds historical resonance, as the region has been a source of some of the world most admired peridots, and this particular stone benefits from the care of cutters who respect the natural crystal form while shaping it to classical proportions. Such a gem lends itself to settings that favor tradition, for example a four or six bead setting that frames the cushion silhouette, a vintage inspired mount that highlights the mixed brilliant facet pattern, or a simple solitaire design that allows the color and polish to be the principal focus. For those who value legacy and continuity The Natural Gemstone Company recommends this peridot for commissions intended to pass from one generation to the next, because its combination of eye clean clarity, excellent polish, natural origin, and meticulous cutting ensures that the gem will remain admired as fashions change, and that it will continue to read as a symbol of enduring taste and natural splendor.
