3.64 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This exceptionally transparent 3.64 carat emerald cut lime green peridot measures 10.04 by 8.05 by 5.31 mm and exhibits an intense color intensity with a vivid lime green saturation that is rare in stones of this size. The gem has been graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from visual appeal to the naked eye. The stone has an excellent polish and no enhancement, a combination that preserves natural integrity and commands a premium among discerning buyers. Origin is Pakistan, a source known for producing gem quality peridot with strong, saturated tones, and this provenance contributes to the stone’s desirability and collectible value.

The emerald cut was chosen to emphasize clarity and breadth of color, producing a refined hall of mirrors effect that delivers both depth and clean flashes of light. Precision facet geometry and excellent polish enhance brilliancy, while the step cut planes create an elegant play of light that centers the eye on the gem’s color rather than on scintillation alone. In this example symmetry is well controlled and facet junctions are crisp, allowing for uniform light return across the table and pavilion, which makes the gem a compelling centerpiece in any collection or bespoke setting. The combination of a larger spread for the carat weight, a controlled depth profile, and skillful cutting yields an appearance larger than its carat weight might suggest, further increasing visual impact.

For the educated buyer this peridot represents an intersection of desirable gemological attributes, including weight, color saturation, clarity, polish, and documented origin, along with the important factor of no enhancement. Peridot is a magnesium iron silicate with a Mohs hardness around 6.5 to 7, requiring mindful setting and occasional care, yet offering durability adequate for rings and pendants when properly protected. Natural, untreated stones from established localities like Pakistan are increasingly sought after for investment and design because they retain original properties and market confidence. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this peridot as a high quality, naturally formed specimen suited to collectors, connoisseurs, and designers seeking an articulate combination of color, clarity, and cut that will sit elegantly as a focal gem for years to come.
