4.45 Ct. Peridot from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare and luminous treasure awaits the collector of refined taste, a transparent 4.45 carat oval shape peridot that embodies an uncommon marriage of size and vivacity. Sourced from the storied alluvial deposits of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this gem presents dimensions of 11.16 x 9.06 x 7.02 mm, proportions that are exceptional for peridots of this caliber, and a presence that is immediately felt the moment it rests beneath the light. The checkerboard cut creates a tapestry of scintillating facets that dance with each movement, and the excellent polish magnifies the gem body and delivers a surface that reads as both luxurious and impeccably finished. At The Natural Gemstone Company we regard this peridot as a distinguished find, one that will elevate any collection through its rare combination of weight, clarity, and intensity of hue.

The color of this peridot is where rarity becomes undeniable, an intense yellowish green that is both vivid and refined, a tone that stands apart from the more commonly seen olive or muted green stones. In comparison to similar options, both in the marketplace and in private collections, stones of this size and this level of chroma are exceptionally scarce, making this gem an immediate focal point for connoisseurs who prize distinction and visual impact. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is slightly included, a subtle signature of natural formation that does nothing to detract from the gem's brilliance, rather it confirms provenance and authenticity for the discerning eye. The stone has been heat treated as an enhancement to refine and stabilize the color, a standard and respected practice that enhances the stone while maintaining integrity, and the result is a luminous, crystalline core that radiates from every facet.

Imagine this peridot set into a bespoke jewel that reflects your personal style and social stature, a ring or pendant designed to showcase the breadth of its oval table and the rhythmic glitter of its checkerboard pavilion, a piece that will command attention without ostentation. The stone’s scale is ideal for a statement ring where its 11.16 by 9.06 millimeter face captures the gaze, and the depth of 7.02 millimeters ensures a substantial yet elegant profile on the hand, a presence that reads as achievement and discerning taste. The natural transparency allows inner fire and life to emerge, and the intense color ensures that light is returned with a brightness that is both inviting and aristocratic. For the client seeking to wear distinction, this peridot offers a rare occasion to possess a gem that is not only beautiful, but also emblematic of a cultivated aesthetic, an heirloom piece in the making that will be admired for decades.
