4.38 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite oval peridot carries the quiet authority of gemstones that have been treasured for millennia, a stone that feels at home in both ancient and modern collections. We present a transparent 4.38 carat oval peridot, with dimensions of 11.06 by 8.93 by 6.48 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and face up brilliance. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gem shows an intense green color intensity that evokes sunlit leaves and warm Mediterranean hills, a hue that has been admired since antiquity. The gem is heat treated to refine its tone and clarity, and it displays an excellent polish that lends a mirror like finish to every facet. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is slightly included, a classification that speaks to the natural authenticity of the stone rather than detracting from its visual appeal.

The internal inclusions of this peridot are not flaws to be hidden, but signatures of the earths formation that make each stone unique, tiny mineral clouds, delicate needle like growths, and minute reflective crystals catch the light in ways that create a private map within the gem, allowing the owner to carry a natural fingerprint that is impossible to replicate. These inclusions anchor the peridot in time and place, confirming its origin in the storied soils of Ceylon, and they add depth and personality to the intense green body color. For collectors and those who value legacy, these features are desirable, they tell a story of pressure, heat, and geological patience. Set in a classic mount, this 4.38 carat oval will read as timeless, and it is ideally suited to rings, pendants, or heirloom pieces that will be passed down through generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate this balance between rarity and the honest character of natural inclusions, and we offer this peridot as a gemstone that marries historic resonance with everyday wearability.
