Comments : This is a stunner of a gem. It is the apple green colour that Pakistani peridot is famous for. The photos do not do it justice at all... my apologies. It is cut in an elegant design that would make a fabulous ring stone. I love this sort of design with the fuller pavilion shape... very similar to my "Acorn" design. There is something about these shapes that work well and look the part. There is a very small veil inclusion in the pavilion. This stone is exceptionally bright and brilliant!
