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

In the hush before dawn, when the world is still catching its breath, a single tone of green rises from the earth like a promise. This is a lime green peridot that carries light as if the sun itself were captured within a leaf. At 1.35 carat, transparent and luminous, it wears the cushion shape with quiet grace, its step cut facets like terraces of light that invite the eye to wander. The stone measures 7.57 by 5.71 by 4.37 millimeters, each dimension a small testament to the care that followed its discovery. The color is intense, a living green that seems to glow from within, and the polish is excellent, a mirror for every tender reflection. There is no enhancement, the gem is as the earth made it, honest and radiant, and its clarity grade stands at very slightly included, judged at eye level, allowing a whisper of character without dimming its inner fire.

Imagine the journey that brought this gem to daylight, the long slow procession from Burma, Myanmar, to the rooms where light is shaped into beauty. Deep in the earth, under soil and shade, the rough peridot formed with patient geology, a result of heat and pressure and time. Miners moved with careful hands, guided by generations of knowledge, and when the rough was gathered it came wrapped in stories of rain, of monsoon winds, and of the green canopy that filters the sun. Each step of the forwarding was gentle, as if preserving a secret, and when the rough entered the hands of trusted collectors, it was accompanied by provenance and respect. The Natural Gemstone Company honors that journey, tracing each hand that touched the stone, ensuring that every facet of its history is preserved, and that the light held within is presented without artifice.

At the lapidary bench, the gem found new life, its character revealed by cutters who read the rough as if reading a poem. The cushion shape was chosen to celebrate the peridot soul, to soften the edges and to let each step cut plane catch and return light like folded leaves. The cutter worked to accentuate the intense color intensity, to open the heart of the stone and to keep its transparency pure. With exacting polish and careful angles, the gem emerged as a study in clarity and glow, the very slightly included nature acknowledged and embraced as a signature of authenticity. The dimensions, seven point five seven by five point seven one by four point three seven millimeters, translate into a presence that is tangible and wearable, a size that balances intimacy with presence, ideal for a ring that speaks without shouting, or for a pendant that rests like an incantation near the skin.

Hold this peridot in a private light and you will feel seasons turn, spring arriving on a breath. The lime green evokes new leaves and the first green of morning, a color that lifts the spirit and calls to memory the promise of growth. Worn at a hand or heart, the stone becomes a talisman, a daily reminder of renewal and unity, perfect for an engagement ring that favors poetry over pomp, or for a sentimental piece that celebrates an inner turning. Its transparency invites closeness, its step cut offers geometry for the mind to rest upon, and its excellent polish answers every glance with clarity. The Natural Gemstone Company places this peridot with the same reverence it receives, offering it to those who seek not only a jewel, but a companion that carries history, place, and intention.
