3.58 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Tanzania

From its first glimmer beneath Tanzanian soil to the moment it rests within your hand, this peridot travels a narrative of quiet rarity and deliberate refinement. Found in the storied deposits of Tanzania, where volcanic forces have fostered some of the world’s finest olivine, this gem began life as a modest piece of rough that nevertheless carried a luminous promise. Our experienced field partners selected the crystal for its saturated lime green hue and crystalline transparency, parcels of rough culled only when they possess the potential to become objects of true distinction. Moved from the mine by careful, traceable channels, the rough entered the hands of cutters who treat every facet as the turning point between common stone and singular treasure, a process that honors both the earth that made it and the discerning eye that recognized its worth.

The transformation into a pear shaped, mixed brilliant cut gem was executed with the exacting intention of revealing the peridot’s most flattering character, preserving weight while delivering a balance of fire and face-up brilliance. The finished gemstone weighs 3.58 carats and measures 11.92 by 7.59 by 6.39 millimeters, a proportion that sits gracefully between presence and elegance, large enough to command attention while refined enough to be worn as a discreet emblem of taste. Evaluated at eye level for clarity, it is graded very slightly included, with inclusions that are part of its identity rather than detractors, contributing to a sense of authenticity beneath a surface of extraordinary polish. Color intensity is pronounced, an intense lime green that seems to vibrate with inner light as each facet catches the room, and the polish has been judged excellent, creating a mirror-sheen that amplifies every scintillation. No enhancement has been applied, this peridot remaining wholly natural in color and condition, an uncompromised testament to geology and craftsmanship.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we shepherd this peridot from those remote workings to an environment of connoisseurship, where gemmological assessment and bespoke presentation honor its lineage. After precision cutting and hand finishing, the stone received measured appraisal, imaging, and careful mounting recommendations for those commissioning designs, recommendations that emphasize its pear silhouette as equally suited to an elevated solitaire, a bespoke drop, or a center balanced by accent stones. For designers and collectors who appreciate striking contrasts, this lime green peridot offers an exquisite counterpoint to darker opalescence, pairing particularly well with a Semi-Black Opal to create a dialogue between vivid green clarity and the deep-hued play-of-color that a semi-black body tone contributes. Owning this peridot is an assertion of refined judgment, a private luxury that signals an appreciation for natural beauty, artisanal skill, and provenance. It arrives accompanied by full descriptive details, including its 3.58 carat weight, pear dimensions 11.92 by 7.59 by 6.39 millimeters, mixed brilliant cut, very slightly included clarity as evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, and Tanzanian origin, a dossier that affirms both its provenance and its place as a distinguished treasure within The Natural Gemstone Company collection.
