Stones from this deposit are known for their saturated green color and relatively high clarity compared to peridot from other origins. This particular stone falls within the 5–8 carat range, which is considered a larger size for faceted peridot in the loose stone market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Pakistani peridot the same quality as Egyptian peridot?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePakistani peridot, particularly from the Supat mine in Kohistan, is generally considered superior in color saturation and clarity. Egyptian peridot from Zabargad Island is historically significant but Pakistani material now dominates the gem-quality market for larger, cleaner stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes peridot need to be treated or enhanced before setting in jewelry?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Peridot is typically used in its natural, untreated state. This stone carries no heat treatment, fracture filling, or coating — it is set-ready as supplied and requires no additional processing before mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between VS and VS1 clarity in loose gemstones?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVS (Very Slightly Included) and VS1 are clarity grades indicating minimal internal inclusions visible only under magnification. In practical terms, both grades appear eye-clean, meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye under normal viewing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gemstones Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51503182217522,"sku":"PERI-890","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/8583\/5314\/files\/Loose-peridot-gemstone.jpg?v=1784806798","url":"https:\/\/www.gemstonesfinder.com\/products\/5-2-ct-natural-cushion-peridot-pakistan","provider":"Gemstones Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
