0.85 Ct. Yellowish Green Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

When you are seeking a gemstone that resolves the search for an engagement ring centerpiece or a rare addition to a collection, this pear shape Burmese peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company answers that need with clarity and confidence. This transparent 0.85 carat gem measures 7.81 by 4.81 by 3.09 mm and is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize light return. Its clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, presenting bright clean surfaces to the unaided eye, and it benefits from an excellent polish that delivers crisp facet junctions and lively scintillation. The stone is completely natural with no enhancement, and its Burmese origin lends it a distinctive pedigree that collectors and designers value. For anyone looking for a gem that feels both fresh and distinguished, this peridot offers immediate presence and lasting appeal.

Visually this peridot reads as a yellowish green with medium color intensity, a tone that sits comfortably between lively lime and warming olive, and the mixed brilliant cutting style enhances both flash and depth. The pear shape adds elegance, allowing the color to concentrate toward the rounded end while the tapered point catches and emits fine flashes of light. Because the stone is very slightly included at eye level, it retains excellent transparency and a clean window for color appreciation, while the slight inclusions add a natural fingerprint that many connoisseurs prefer. Under varying lighting the gem shows a friendly yellow warmth that keeps its green identity, so it reads as joyful and wearable. This combination of hue, tone, and cut makes it ideal for a single stone engagement ring that leans toward a modern organic aesthetic, and it also works beautifully as a pendant where the drop shape can accentuate the wearer.

Comparing its hue and tone to peridots and other green gems from famous locales helps place its personality more precisely. Compared to classic San Carlos Arizona peridot which often leans toward deeper olive green tones with less yellow, this Burmese piece feels livelier and brighter, with a clearer yellow component that reads as more summery. Compared to rare Zabargad or St Johns Island Egyptian peridot which is famous for an intense lime green, this stone is slightly softer in intensity, offering a mellower medium tone that reads more sophisticated in jewelry. Compared to Pakistani peridot which can show stronger saturation and occasionally a greener leaning without the same yellow warmth, the Burmese example shows a unique balance of yellow and green that is both luminous and restrained. When compared to other green gemstones like emerald from Colombia which shows a bluish green at deeper tone, or tsavorite which is pure vivid green with little to no yellow influence, this peridot stands apart with its unmistakable yellowish green identity. The Burmese peridot does not show the bluish undertone of emeralds or the grass green vibrancy of tsavorite, and it is instead defined by a warm citrus green that is immediately recognizable and versatile in design.

Your search ends with this gem because it delivers a practical and emotional match for many desires, whether the priority is a statement engagement ring, a collector study of Burmese material, or a custom piece that balances brilliance and approachable color. The mixed brilliant cutting and excellent polish guarantee lively performance in daily wear, and the very slightly included clarity preserves a natural authenticity while looking clean to the eye. For settings, warmer metals like yellow gold and rose gold will emphasize the gem’s yellowish notes and produce a radiant, vintage inspired glow, while white gold and platinum will accentuate the stone’s brightness and the clarity of its facets for a more contemporary, crisp presentation. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the origin and untreated nature of this gem, and we can assist with advice on mounting and care so that the pear shape and color remain as compelling on the hand as they are in the loupe. This peridot is an elegant solution for someone who wants a distinctive green that reads fresh, wearable, and unmistakably natural.
