1.05 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot

This pear shaped peridot, weighing 1.05 carat and measuring 7.87 by 6.64 by 3.25 millimeters, reads like a page from a long and luminous history, a gem that bridges ancient lore and modern refinement. Cut in a mixed brilliant style and finished with an excellent polish, this transparent green stone presents an intense lime green that seems to hold sunlight within its facets, and its clarity is very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, a testament to its clean character and natural origin without enhancement. Peridot has been treasured since antiquity when island deposits supplied ornaments to pharaohs and Roman collectors, and this stone carries that lineage in a form that feels both timeless and contemporary, ready to be set into an heirloom piece that will be passed down for generations, offered with our assurance and expertise. When comparing hue and tone to peridots from other famed localities, the distinctions are telling and evocative. Stones from Zabargad or St Johns Island in Egypt, famed in ancient sources, often exhibit a warmer olive green with a golden undertone that reads as quietly regal, while peridots from San Carlos in Arizona more commonly show deeper grass green notes and occasionally a slightly brownish or earthy cast, making them feel robust and grounded. Compared to those classics, this peridot announces itself with a brighter lime pop, a fresher and more vivacious tone that catches the eye in daylight and candle glow alike, and its high transparency and intense color intensity place it among the livelier expressions of the species. Chinese and other Asian occurrences sometimes yield paler or more muted greens, whereas this gem stands apart for its vivid saturation and clarity, qualities that translate beautifully into both traditional and modern designs. For collectors and connoisseurs who value provenance, character, and the echo of history in every facet, we present this peridot as a worthy centerpiece, a stone that honors ancient tradition while offering a luminous, enduring statement for today.
