4.28 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From deep within the ancient rocks of Ceylon, where volcanic processes and time conspire to create color, this peridot began its long journey. Unearthed in Sri Lanka, The Natural Gemstone Company brought this gem to light, and it was carefully assessed and shaped to reveal the vivid green that makes peridot so memorable. At 4.28 carats, with an elegant oval silhouette measuring 11.14 by 9.12 by 5.93 millimeters, the stone wears a mixed brilliant cut that balances table brilliance with lively pavilion flashes. Its clarity is graded as included, evaluated at eye level, and those natural inclusions tell the story of formation and movement deep below the surface. The intense color intensity and excellent polish make the stone sing, and a professional heat treatment was applied to enhance and stabilize its lively green. When set, the gem displays a vibrant green that reads fresh and botanical in daylight, and the cut proportions provide a pleasing balance between spread and depth, making this peridot an ideal centerpiece for rings, pendants, or bespoke heirloom pieces.

Compared with lab grown gemstones, this natural Sri Lankan peridot offers qualities that go beyond uniform perfection. Lab grown stones can be very clean and consistent, but they lack the provenance and geological narrative that a natural gem carries. The visible inclusions and the subtle variations in tone within this peridot are not flaws to hide, they are fingerprints of nature that confirm authenticity and origin. Natural stones tend to retain emotional and often financial value more reliably over time, especially when the origin is known and disclosed, as it is here by The Natural Gemstone Company. Heat treatment is a transparent enhancement, commonly used to bring out the best possible color while preserving the stone s natural character. Choosing this peridot means embracing a stone with a story, a tactile reminder of place and time, and a unique appearance that no laboratory can truly replicate. If you are seeking a gem that connects you to the earth and to a specific origin, this Sri Lankan peridot offers rarity, personality, and the palpable satisfaction of wearing a natural treasure.
