The peridot deposit at Sapat in the Kohistan region of Pakistan sits above 4,000 metres and can be worked only in summer. It is known for large, clean crystals with a bright, slightly yellowish green, and this oval is a good example of the material.
Peridot is not treated. This stone is eye clean; under a loupe there are a few of the small disc-shaped inclusions, known as lily pads, that are typical of peridot and confirm it is natural.
At 13.4 × 10.2 mm it suits a pendant or a large ring. Peridot is somewhat softer than quartz and can be sensitive to sudden temperature changes, so ask your jeweller to take care when soldering near the stone.
