Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pakistani peridot different from other origins?

Yes. Pakistani peridot — particularly from the Kohistan and Sapat regions — tends to have a deeper, more saturated green compared to stones from China or Arizona. It is widely regarded as among the finest peridot available on the market.

What does VVS clarity mean for a peridot?

VVS (Very Very Slightly Included) means the stone has inclusions that are extremely difficult to see even under 10× magnification. For a peridot, VVS is a high clarity grade and indicates the stone will appear clean and bright to the naked eye.

Can this peridot be set directly into a ring or pendant?

Yes. At 3.20 carats and approximately 9 × 7 mm, this stone is a practical size for a solitaire ring, pendant, or earring setting. A jeweller can advise on the best setting style based on the cushion cut dimensions.
