3.93 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Pakistan

This beautiful transparent peridot weighs 3.93 carats and is cut into a classic cushion shape with precise dimensions of 9.00 by 8.95 by 6.67 millimeters, attributes that combine to create a commanding face up presence without overwhelming typical ring settings. The cutter has selected a mixed brilliant cut, which blends brilliant facets on the crown with step facets on the pavilion to optimize both scintillation and color face up, and the result is a lively, vivid lime green that reads intensely under daylight and warm indoor lighting. The excellent polish amplifies the gem s natural luster, providing crisp facet junctions and lively light return that accentuate the peridot s signature yellowish green tones. With a calculated depth of approximately 74 percent the stone sits with a balanced profile that deepens saturation while maintaining an appealing table size, making this gem an attractive centerpiece for engagement rings, statement rings, pendants, or bespoke jewelry designs.

From a grading perspective this peridot is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity characteristic that most connoisseurs and jewelers would describe as effectively eye clean, with any inclusions minimally affecting transparency or brilliance and generally visible only under magnification. The vivid color intensity is particularly important for peridot, because the gem s distinctive lime green hue is the primary driver of its market value, and this piece displays an even, pure tone with only the subtlest golden overtone typical of quality olivine. There has been no enhancement applied to this stone, which preserves its natural character and is an important consideration for discerning buyers who prioritize untreated provenance in their collections. The origin of this peridot is Pakistan, a region recognized for producing fine peridots with saturated, clean color, and origin documentation adds provenance value for educated buyers who consider geological source as part of their purchasing criteria. For those comparing gems by the numbers, the combination of weight close to four carats, cushion outline, mixed brilliant faceting, vivid color, eye level clarity, and excellent polish make this specimen a balanced and well finished example of gem quality peridot.

Regarding durability this peridot rates approximately six and a half to seven on the Mohs hardness scale, which places it below corundum and diamond but within a range compatible with regular wear provided appropriate setting and care. Peridot can be more prone to abrasion from harder materials and can chip if struck on a facet edge or corner, so for daily wear settings that offer protection such as bezels, partial bezels, or guarded prongs are recommended, especially for rings that will be exposed to frequent contact. The stone s toughness is generally adequate, and its polish and cutting help reduce the risk of dirt accumulation and wear, but routine precautions are sensible. Cleaning is straightforward using warm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush, and it is advisable to avoid harsh chemicals, prolonged exposure to high heat, and aggressive ultrasonic or steam cleaning which can stress some peridot specimens. With prudent mounting choices and basic maintenance this peridot will be a durable and striking daily wearable gem.
