Peridot (Zabarjad) with an Independent Lab Report زبرجد

In short: Peridot is seldom treated, so a lab report on zabarjad is mostly about confirming the mineral and ruling out green glass, tourmaline and green sapphire by measuring its strong double refraction. Some labs add an origin opinion, which matters to anyone buying Pakistani peridot. Message us any peridot's link on WhatsApp and you see the report before you pay.

Peridot is seldom treated, so a lab report on zabarjad is mainly about confirming the mineral and ruling out glass and other green stones.

Lab-certified listings will appear here as independent reports are added to individual stones. Until then, any stone can be sent for an independent report before you pay — ask on WhatsApp.

What a lab looks at in peridot

  • Identity: peridot has strong double refraction, and the lab measures it. That separates it from green glass, tourmaline and green sapphire.
  • Lab-grown material: synthetic forsterite does exist, though it is uncommon; spectroscopy is used to check.
  • Filled cracks: oil or resin in fractures is rare in peridot, but it is recorded if found.
  • Origin: some labs will give an origin opinion, which matters if you specifically want Pakistani peridot.

Asking for a report

Choose a stone from our peridot collection and message us its link on WhatsApp. We will explain how that particular stone would be tested, and the report reaches you before you pay a rupee. You can do the same with emerald, tourmaline and green agate. There is more on our lab-certified gemstones page.
