I've been looking around for a vivid green peridot with as little yellow as possible , I'm not even sure if a vivid green peridot actually exist. Finally stumbled across a seller in Pakistan and he these amazingly green peridots. The issue is that the vids he sent just don't feel right, he color is just to good. He insist that its natural light and no enhancement to his vids.

I got two screenshots (not sure how to upload vids) and would appreciate your thoughts.

Lighting looks a bit optimistic. It might be good to ask if there are photos of in mixed or shaded lighting.

although, if you’re looking for a peridot without any yellow…I might recommend tourmaline instead :razz:

Not that much into tourmalines

I'm not sure what it is but something is off with the color in his vids.

These are the pics which are supposedly under different light, he didn't specify under what lighting conditions they were taken.

I honestly don't see how these pics are not edited.

Looks like a nice Peridot, Nothing suspicious here color wise. Don't know what the price and carat weight is, but the color is good.

I'm really not sure here, I myself never saw such color intensity and vividness in peridot, so I guess I'll go with my gut feeling this time.

I've seen them even more intense.

As been said, the best are normally from Pakistan & Burma. Though Burma stones are becoming much harder to find and generally will cost more, only because they are from Burma. Everything is more expensive from Burma.
