The stone displays an intense color intensity, with a vivid yellow green hue that is evenly distributed across the table and pavilion. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to precise proportions, producing a well balanced table and pavilion depth relative to the overall dimensions. Clarity is graded slightly included when viewed at eye level, indicating minor natural inclusions that do not detract from the gems overall visual appeal. The polish is excellent, the surface facets are clean and sharp, and there has been no enhancement applied to this peridot. Origin is Burma Myanmar, a provenance that contributes to its character and geological background.

The mixed brilliant cut in a cushion outline optimizes the peridots inherent refractive properties by combining a step style crown with a brilliant facet arrangement on the pavilion, this configuration increases the number of light return pathways, enhancing both brilliance and scintillation. The cushion silhouette softens facet junctions, creating larger flashes of light across the face while the brilliant pavilion facets fragment and return light as intense, lively sparkle. The slightly included clarity allows small natural features to remain visible under close inspection, which can contribute to depth and internal contrast, without masking the bright, lively reflections produced by the cut. Excellent polish ensures minimal surface diffusion of light, preserving crisp contrast between bright and dark facet areas and maximizing apparent color saturation. As a natural, untreated gemstone with well considered proportions, this peridot offers a durable optical performance that responds well to moderate to strong lighting, producing an attractive balance of broad color and lively facet scintillation suitable for a variety of settings, and detailed documentation is available from The Natural Gemstone Company upon request.
