5.38 ct Green Peridot - Oval

At 5.38 carats, this peridot from Pakistan carries its green color through an oval cut, measuring 9.5 x 7.5 x 5.4 mm.

Peridot is the gem form of olivine, colored green by the iron in its own structure, one of the few gems that occurs in a single color. Pakistan's northern ranges produce fine gems from some of the highest-altitude mines in the world. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
