4.22 Ct. Peridot from Tanzania

Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this exceptional peridot is a rare example of premium quality in a lively yellowish green hue, weighing 4.22 carats, and measuring 11.23 x 7.80 x 6.28 mm. The radiant shape gives this stone a modern geometric presence, while a masterful faceting scheme enhances its intense color and delivers a lively play of light. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very slightly included, which means the gem reads transparently and clean to the naked eye, allowing the vivid color and internal brightness to dominate the viewing experience. There has been no enhancement to the stone, a fact that sets it apart in a market where heat treatments and other modifications are common. Originating from Tanzania, this peridot carries the character of a known and respected source, which further reinforces its appeal for collectors and designers who value traceable provenance.

The 4.22 carat weight is a central feature that elevates this peridot above common offerings. Peridot of this size and with such a clean face up appearance is uncommon, and the increase in carat weight translates directly into a stronger visual impact when set in any jewelry design. Many peridots on the market are offered in smaller sizes that require a more delicate setting to be visible, or they rely on high volumes of smaller stones to create presence. In contrast, this single 4.22 carat gem commands attention on its own, making it an ideal center stone for rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces where a single, confident focal point is desired. The dimensions, 11.23 x 7.80 x 6.28 mm, provide generous table proportions that balance face up area and depth, and the radiant cut was chosen to preserve weight while maximizing scintillation and color saturation, a combination that adds both aesthetic and intrinsic value.

Compared to other green gemstones, this Tanzanian peridot offers a distinct proposition. Emeralds, while historically prized and often more valuable per carat, commonly display surface reaching inclusions or treatments that can complicate setting and long term wear. Tsavorite garnet is admired for its vivid green color, but it is generally rarer and commands a much higher price per carat for equivalent size and clarity. Green tourmaline can be attractive, but the tonal range and optical characteristics differ, and many green tourmalines lack the warm yellowish green vibrancy found in this peridot. The advantage of this unenhanced peridot lies in its honest, intense color and transparent clarity, offered at a competitive value relative to many other green gems. For clients who seek a large, eye clean, and naturally colored green stone without the premium of rarer species, this 4.22 carat peridot represents an intelligent and beautiful choice.

Craftsmanship and cutting quality further distinguish this gemstone from many alternatives. The radiant cut on this piece was executed to produce an even color distribution and to open up the gem so that light enters and returns with lively brilliance. An excellent polish enhances surface luster, which in turn sharpens facet junctions and contributes to overall sparkle when worn. Stones of similar carat weight can look dull or lifeless if cut and polished poorly, even if their raw material would have been attractive. This peridot, by contrast, benefits from careful faceting that retains weight, preserves a generous table, and delivers a lively visual performance face up. For designers and collectors who compare stones not only by carat weight but by how that weight is presented, the difference is clear. The Natural Gemstone Company selects gems with these exacting standards to ensure that each stone stands out for its combination of color, clarity, cut, and honest origin.

For those seeking a timeless centerpiece or a distinctive statement piece, this 4.22 carat radiant peridot is an outstanding option. It is ideal for a solitaire ring where the weight and dimensions provide a commanding yet elegant presence, or as the focal gem in a custom pendant or cocktail ring where unenhanced color and clean clarity will be appreciated. We recommend settings that protect the girdle and pavilion while allowing ample light to reach the table, and metal choices such as warm yellow gold to complement the yellowish green character, or white gold and platinum for a more contemporary contrast. As with any fine gem, proper care will preserve its beauty, and our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is available to advise on mounting options, custom design services, and secure shipping. This peridot combines a rare and substantial 4.22 carat weight with intense natural color, excellent polish, and verified Tanzanian origin, offering exceptional value and a lasting impression for discerning buyers.
