Natural Peridot 5mm Round Cabochon - Price For 1 Piece

A small, domed round cabochon in the vivid, electric yellow-green that peridot is most celebrated for. The color has a fresh, almost lime-like brightness to it, lively and well-saturated for the size, with a glowing translucency that lets light pass warmly through the dome. The high-gloss polish gives the surface a clean, wet look, and color consistency across the available stock is strong. Natural inclusions are present consistent with SI clarity, visible as faint veils and small specks that do not significantly affect the overall impression of a bright, juicy little stone.

Pakistan's Kohistan region produces some of the most vivid yellow-green peridot on the commercial market, and these 5mm cabochons are a good representation of that material. Peridot is always untreated: the color is entirely natural, produced by iron content in the olivine crystal structure, and no heat or other enhancement is ever applied. The round cabochon cut focuses the color well at this size and suits small bezel and prong settings for studs, pendants, and small rings. Peridot is the August birthstone, making these a popular choice for birthday gifts and month-themed jewelry.
