Grading Standards and Valuation

Color Grading

A medium to dark grass-green color is considered the most desirable in the international market. Chrome peridot from Mogok, Myanmar, containing 0.3%-0.5% Cr₂O₃, exhibits a "fluorescent neon green" and is known as a "dusk emerald" in collectors' circles. Prices can reach over $1,200 per carat.

Clarity and Cut

Natural peridot often contains inclusions, and clarity is graded from Flawless (FI) to Very Included (EI). High-quality gemstones require minimal inclusions, high transparency, and an emerald or round brilliant cut to maximize fire.
