The journey of this peridot from mine to market is a careful blend of tradition and quality control, it begins in Sri Lanka where small scale miners work known alluvial deposits, the initial recovery is hands on, each rough is examined for color zoning and clarity before being selected for cutting, the chosen rough for this gem showed a promise of intense color and good transparency, it was entrusted to an experienced lapidary who chose a mixed brilliant scheme to preserve weight while opening the stone up to maximum light return, the heat treatment that follows is controlled and minimal, used to stabilize color and remove subtle brown or yellow tones that can appear in some peridots, after treatment the stone receives a series of meticulous polishes and final inspections, photos and measurements are taken, and the gem is then passed to The Natural Gemstone Company for final appraisal and presentation, every step in this journey favors natural character over heavy enhancement, resulting in a peridot that feels honest and premium.

Compared to other green gemstones in the market this Ceylon peridot offers distinctive value, unlike emeralds it shows a clarity and transparency that sings in smaller sizes, while emeralds often require oiling or more invasive treatments, this peridot has only a modest heat treatment and retains a lively, cleaner appearance for daily wear, when compared to tsavorite garnets or green sapphires this peridot sits in a unique niche, it delivers a vivid green at a much more accessible price per carat than the rarer green gems, and its bright lime spectrum is a mood all its own, many peridots on the market are washed out or heavily included, this example stands out because of its intense color intensity and superior polish, the mixed brilliant cut is also a differentiator, it produces more flash and brilliance than common step cuts used on many peridots, so you get more sparkle for each carat, finally the size of 4.35 carats is noteworthy, larger peridots with this level of clarity and color are less common, making this stone a smart choice for buyers who want impact without compromise.
