0.73 Ct. Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

This pear shaped yellowish green peridot, weighing 0.73 carats and measuring 7.81 x 4.81 x 3.09 mm, represents a rare convergence of natural color, thoughtful cutting, and honest presentation. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, this stone delivers lively scintillation and balanced dispersion, while an excellent polish gives a clean, reflective surface that enhances brilliance in a variety of lighting conditions. Clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, which means the gem reads as transparent and eye clean to most observers, and this subtle natural character actually contributes to depth and personality without distracting from the gem's overall visual purity. Importantly, this peridot is untreated, with no enhancements, and it is of Burmese origin, provenance that collectors recognize for producing peridots with a particularly attractive, clear green tone. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this stone as a complete, honest offering, a natural example of what a well cut, unenhanced peridot should be, not an altered simulacrum.

Compared to many peridots and green gems on the market, this specimen sits in an advantageous position between fashion oriented mass market stones and ultra rare, high price collector pieces. Its medium color intensity provides the vibrant lime olive tone that defines classic peridot, without tipping into the overly dark or brownish greens that can occur in lower quality material. Against other popular green gemstones such as emerald, tsavorite, or chrome diopside, this peridot provides a unique, sunnier spectrum and a lighter, more lively visual character, and it does so with significantly more accessible pricing for a natural, untreated gem. Many commercial peridots are surface treated, clarity enhanced, or heat modified to mask imperfections, but this peridot retains its natural identity, which is valuable both aesthetically and for long term desirability. The mixed brilliant cut also sets it apart from common step cut or generic faceting, by maximizing fire and return, so in jewelry it will perform with the kind of sparkle buyers expect from higher end stones.

Owning this gemstone is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, because it pairs natural material integrity with skilled lapidary execution. The pear shape is inherently versatile, flattering in solitaire rings, as a pendant focal, or nestled into an asymmetric bespoke design, and at 0.73 carats the stone is substantial enough to command attention while remaining wearable and elegant. The cutter has balanced depth and table size to preserve weight while optimizing light performance, and the excellent polish ensures longevity of surface luster over time. From a practical perspective, peridot is tough enough for regular wear when set thoughtfully, and because this piece is natural and untreated, collectors and designers can build provenance and design narratives around it without the complications of noted enhancements. Compared to larger stones of lower quality, which can appear dull or lifeless despite scale, this peridot demonstrates how superior cutting and eye clean clarity outperform mere carat weight when it comes to daily visual impact.

When you choose this peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company you are selecting more than a pretty green gem, you are choosing an objectively superior balance of color, clarity, cut, and provenance. The combination of Burmese origin, no enhancement, mixed brilliant cut, and excellent polish positions this stone as a smart choice for buyers who value authenticity and aesthetic performance, and who prefer a gem that will wear beautifully now and hold its appeal over many years. For jewelers and collectors who compare options on the market, this peridot represents a clear value, offering the luminous, fresh green that defines the species, with the practical advantages of a well executed cut and a straightforward, honest specification. In short, this gem is an investment in enduring beauty and fine craftsmanship, a piece that will translate into memorable jewelry and a meaningful addition to any collection.
