1.06 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

From the moment a rough piece of peridot slips from the earth, its story is one of heat, pressure, and ancient movement, a journey that culminates in the bright, lime green light you now see. This particular gem began its life deep within the geology of Burma Myanmar, lifted by volcanic activity and set free into alluvial deposits where careful hands selected it for its clarity and color. Peridot has been treasured by cultures across centuries for its verdant glow, believed by ancient civilizations to carry healing energy and offer protection, and yet each stone retains a unique signature tied to its place of origin. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that signature, and we select only those crystals whose natural character and integrity will translate into jewelry that feels personal and timeless.

This cushion shaped, transparent peridot weighs 1.06 carat and measures 7.10 by 5.17 by 3.98 millimeters, a proportion that makes it especially versatile for custom work. The gem is cut with a checkerboard faceting pattern across the crown, a design that scatters light into a lively lattice of flashes and deepening tones, enhancing the intense color intensity that sets this stone apart. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone presents as clean and luminous to the wearer while retaining the natural character that many collectors and designers prize. The polish is excellent and there has been no enhancement applied, so the bright lime green you admire is wholly natural. These combined qualities mean the stone is ready to be set without concern for stability or artificial alteration, a raw honesty that jewelers and clients both appreciate.

For custom jewelry the dimensions and shape of this peridot make it a superb choice, whether the design calls for a solitaire ring, a delicate pendant, a pair of elegant stud earrings, or an offset stone in a three stone arrangement. The 7.10 by 5.17 millimeter cushion profile sits comfortably in classic prong settings and also adapts beautifully to low profile bezels, while the 3.98 millimeter depth offers enough pavilion to secure a firm seat in most designs without producing excessive height. The checkerboard crown plays well with halo treatments and side stones, especially small diamonds that can echo the peridot's scintillation without competing with its vivid color. Designers often pair lime green peridot with warm metals such as yellow gold and rose gold to intensify its verdant warmth, or with white metals to present a fresher, more contemporary contrast.
