Origin & Formation: The peridot, a member of the olivine family, is a gemstone born from volcanic activity, commonly found in the earth's mantle and brought to the surface through tectonic and volcanic processes. It forms under high-temperature conditions, often erupting from the depths of the earth in lava flows or discovered in meteorites, making it one of the few extraterrestrial stones. The distinctive yellow-green hue is a result of its iron content, a signature of its fiery genesis and a testament to its volcanic origins.

Gemological Integrity (Treatments): The treatment of peridot is typically minimal, often left untreated to preserve its natural allure. While some gemstones undergo processes such as heating or oiling to enhance clarity and depth of color, peridot generally requires no such intervention. This lack of treatment highlights the stone's inherent quality and resilience, offering collectors and enthusiasts a glimpse into the stone’s unaltered beauty as nature intended.

The Specimen: This 0.5-carat peridot, cut into a precise round faceted form, measures 5.0mm x 5.0mm x 4.0mm, maximizing its vibrant yellow-green color. The faceted cut is meticulously designed to interact with light, creating a dance of reflections that showcases the stone's transparency and brilliance. While no certification is mentioned, the natural characteristics of this gem speak to its authenticity, inviting the observer to appreciate its geological narrative and the craftsmanship involved in its presentation.
