3.23 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One look at this exceptional lime green peridot and the difference becomes immediately clear, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we are proud to present this rare 3.23 carat oval peridot that brings together size, color, and finish in a way that outshines the typical market offerings. Measuring 9.97 x 8.05 x 5.92 mm, the stone sits in the ideal range for statement rings and pendants, and its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize fire and return of light. Transparency is outstanding, and the intense color intensity gives the gem a vivid, lively presence that photographs and in person viewing capture equally well. The surface shows an excellent polish that produces crisp facet junctions and mirror like facets, and the overall symmetry and proportions reveal the level of craftsmanship that separates this piece from mass market material.

The flawless perception of this peridot enhances its beauty from every angle, and the interplay of light across the mixed brilliant faceting is the primary reason. From the table down through the pavilion, light is guided and returned with strong brilliance, while the precise crown facets create scintillation that animates the gem as it moves. Viewed from the side the pavilion depth and clean facet faces preserve a bright, luminous appearance, avoiding the washed out look that lesser stones often show. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, yet those minute inclusions sit discreetly and do not interrupt the overall visual purity, allowing the color to read as a pure, intense lime green. The excellent polish means each facet edge remains sharp, so reflections are clean and contrast is lively, and the oval outline gives a flattering elongation that enhances finger appearance when set in fine jewelry.

When compared to other peridots and green gemstones available on the market this gem offers a superior balance of attributes that deliver both intrinsic value and immediate wearability. Many commercial peridots at similar sizes present with cloudiness, heavier inclusions, or muted color tones that reduce their optical impact and resale appeal. This specimen, of Ceylon, Sri Lanka origin, stands apart for its combination of bright, saturated hue, notable transparency, and a cut that prioritizes brilliance and face up presence. Heat treatment has been applied in line with standard gemological practices to stabilize color and clarity, and unlike certain treatments that can be invasive or unstable, the enhancement here is common and accepted, and it enhances long term beauty. The peridot is rare at this carat weight with such intense color, and that rarity translates to better value for collectors and designers who want a gemstone that reads both modern and collectible.

For clients seeking a superior peridot that will perform beautifully in bespoke settings, engagement jewelry, or as the centerpiece of a refined collection, this gem is an ideal choice. Its dimensions of 9.97 x 8.05 x 5.92 mm and 3.23 carat weight make planning a secure bezel or prong setting straightforward, and the mixed brilliant cut will reward any mounting with lively sparkle and strong face up color. The Natural Gemstone Company carefully curates each gem, and this peridot reflects our commitment to offering stones that are not only visually stunning but also represent a considered purchase in terms of rarity, durability, and aesthetic longevity. If you are comparing stones, look closely at transparency, cut quality, polish, and color intensity, and you will find this Ceylon peridot stands confidently above the alternatives, delivering a gemstone that is as technically impressive as it is beautiful from every angle.
