This 0.9 carat peridot suits the buyer who wants a small green accent, such as a stud, a slim pendant or a ring that sits beside other stones, and who has a modest budget. At Rs. 1,880 it is one of the lowest-priced peridots we list.

About the stone

It is a zabarjad from Afghanistan in olive green. The per-carat figure is about Rs. 2,089. Small peridots cost less than large ones because bigger stones are scarcer, so a sub-carat stone stays accessible.

Peridot is rarely treated. Ask us on WhatsApp what we know about this exact stone, quoting GS-000342, and remember that independent lab testing is available on request.

Wearing small peridot

Hardness runs 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, enough for a pendant or earring. A small stone in a ring should have a protective bezel. Wash with mild soap and water. Other sizes can be found in the peridot category.

Buyers who like a green stone but do not want to spend heavily often start here, and a sub-carat peridot can later be matched with a second stone for a pair.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural peridot, known in Urdu as Zabarjad, with a weight of 0.9 Carat. Its price is Rs. 1,880 — roughly Rs. 2,089 for each carat. Origin: Afghanistan. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-000342 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Under two carats, a stone like this sits neatly in a slim ring, a stud or a delicate pendant and does not snag on sleeves. It is also where many first-time buyers begin when a stone is recommended for astrological reasons, because the total cost stays modest.

On the Mohs scale peridot rates 6.5 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy peridot from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every peridot for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
