1.00 Ct. Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

This pear shape green peridot is a carefully considered example of the gem in a size and presentation that collectors and connoisseurs prize, one point zero zero carat, with precise measurements of eight point zero four by five point eight one by three point four eight millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, and an excellent polish. The mixed brilliant design combines pavilion faceting that optimizes internal brilliance with a crown faceting scheme that presents color face up, giving the stone an engaging sparkle and a pleasing visual weight for its carat class. The medium color intensity is noteworthy because peridot commonly presents in olive or yellowish hues at similar sizes, making a clean medium green of this saturation uncommon in stones around one carat and in a refined pear outline. The dimensions and proportion produce a balanced silhouette that performs well in solitaire, drop, or halo settings, and the excellent polish elevates light return and durability at the facet junctions, so the viewer sees crisp facet lines and lively scintillation rather than dull reflections that can be present in lower quality material.

The clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means the gem appears essentially clean to the unaided eye, with only minute natural features detectable under careful scrutiny. For buyers who appreciate objective gemmological language, this clarity level indicates minimal internal interruptions to light transmission, preserving the gem's transparency and brilliance while still confirming natural origin through authentic, minimal inclusions. In peridot, such cleanliness in combination with medium green saturation is scarce, because many peridots of similar hue show more obvious inclusions or clouding at comparable sizes. This specimen has been heat treated, an enhancement that is disclosed and commonly accepted within the trade when used to stabilize or enhance color without compromising structural integrity. Heat treatment in peridot is a standard, stable enhancement when properly performed, and it does not require special care beyond normal jewelry maintenance, however The Natural Gemstone Company recommends periodic professional inspections of fitted settings to ensure the stone remains secure and the polish maintained.

The origin of this peridot is Burma, Myanmar, a provenance that adds both historical interest and market distinction, because Burmese peridot is relatively rare in the modern supply compared to more abundant sources. Collectors and informed buyers value provenance, especially when it aligns with superior material characteristics, as it helps contextualize rarity and potential future desirability. When evaluating value, an educated buyer looks at the intersection of size, color saturation, optical clarity, cut quality, polish, treatment disclosure, and origin, and this peridot presents a compelling combination across those pillars. The one point zero zero carat weight in a vivid, medium green and essentially eye clean example from Myanmar is a scarce find, particularly in a well finished pear shape with a mixed brilliant faceting strategy, which maximizes both color presentation and scintillation. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the transparency of these attributes, and for clients seeking documentation we provide detailed notes on measurements, clarity assessment, enhancement disclosure, and origin to support appraisal, custom mounting, or resale considerations. This peridot is well suited for a discerning collector or a jeweler creating a signature piece where a rare balance of hue, clarity, and cut is desired, and we invite inquiries for viewing, certification, or bespoke setting options.
