4.10 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Pakistan

This exceptional transparent 4.10 carat oval peridot measures 11.25 by 9.27 by 5.88 mm and has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to optimize both brilliance and face up color. The cutting style combines faceting that enhances scintillation with pavilion geometry that returns light evenly, producing a lively and even visual performance across the table. At an assessed clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone displays only minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from its clean appearance or its ability to transmit light. The color reads as a yellowish green with intense color intensity, which gives the gem a vivid presence in hand or in a finished piece. The polish on this stone is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and high surface luster, and no enhancement has been applied, confirming that this peridot is entirely natural in color and appearance. Origin is Pakistan, and the combination of weight, cut, clarity and unenhanced natural color make this a noteworthy example for both connoisseurs and designers.

Comparing hue and tone with peridots from other well known localities helps to situate this stone within the global market for peridot. Classic peridot from Zabargad Island in the Red Sea has historically been prized for a pure grass green with golden undertone, often showing a slightly mellower yellow bias and an Old World charm. Peridot from San Carlos in Arizona commonly presents a more lime leaning green with some specimens carrying a darker tone or olive nuance when compared side by side with brighter stones. Peridots from parts of Pakistan typically show a vibrant yellowish green that leans toward the warm side of the spectrum while maintaining strong saturation and remarkable transparency, and the present gem exemplifies that profile with its intense, sunny green that reads warmer than many San Carlos examples and somewhat brighter than many Zabargad pieces. Stones from Myanmar and China can range toward deeper olive or more muted greens, and by comparison this Pakistani peridot sits in the favorable middle ground for collectors who prize lively, warm green hues with excellent light return. For buyers seeking a peridot that combines old world richness with modern brightness, this specimen offers an appealing balance of hue and tone that is distinct from the cooler or darker tendencies seen in other sources.

From a value perspective this peridot is attractive to an educated buyer for several reasons. First, the size at 4.10 carats is significant for peridot, a gem that is often seen in smaller sizes, so the weight alone increases desirability and versatility for various jewelry designs. Second, the intense natural color and the absence of enhancement mean that the gem offers authentic optical properties without treatment, a premium attribute in the fine gem market. Third, the clarity grade of very very slightly included when assessed at eye level indicates that inclusions are minimal and do not interrupt the gem s transparency or brilliance, making the stone suitable for high end settings and for buyers who require clean material. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish ensure that the gem will perform well when mounted, delivering lively sparkle and a generous face up color that will stand out in both yellow gold settings that complement its warm tones, and in white metals that provide a modern, high contrast presentation. For care, peridot is a durable gem for everyday wear when set securely, and standard precautions against blunt impact and sudden temperature change are advisable to preserve the integrity of the stone.
