Flawless Olive Peridot Gemstone for Ring, 4.10 CT, Pakistan

A Flawless Olive Peridot at 4.10 Carats From Mansehra

This peridot gemstone weighs 4.10 carats and comes from Mansehra, Abbottabad, a peridot locality in Pakistan known for producing stones with strong apple green to olive color. Cut in a cushion shape and measuring 9.5 x 9 x 6 mm, this stone carries an IF clarity grade, meaning internally flawless under standard magnification, which is a demanding standard for peridot and puts this stone above typical commercial grade material.

Peridot, part of the forsterite family within the olivine mineral group, is one of the few gemstones that occurs in essentially one color, ranging from yellow-green to olive depending on iron content, and this stone sits at the deeper, richer end of that range. Because it rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, peridot is suited to rings but does better with settings that protect the stone from hard knocks compared to harder gems like sapphire. As the August birthstone, it's a common choice for personal jewelry as well as gifts marking an August birthday, and its color reads well against both yellow and white gold settings.

FAQS

This stone is sourced from Mansehra, Abbottabad, Pakistan, a recognized peridot locality. If "Burma peridot" appears in the listing name, note that it refers to a trade style descriptor rather than a literal Burmese origin, since the actual mine of origin is in Pakistan.

What does IF clarity mean?

IF stands for internally flawless, meaning no inclusions are visible under standard 10x magnification, one of the highest clarity grades a gemstone can receive.

Is this peridot natural or treated?

This is a completely natural peridot gemstone with no heat treatment or enhancement.

Is peridot durable enough for a ring worn daily?

Peridot rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which is workable for rings but softer than stones like sapphire, so a protective setting is recommended for daily wear.

What carat weight and shape is this stone?

This peridot weighs 4.10 carats in a cushion cut, measuring 9.5 x 9 x 6 mm, sized to work well as a ring center stone.
