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

This exquisite peridot from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent, one point nine five carat oval gemstone that measures nine point zero six by six point nine nine by four point two four millimeters, cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and scintillation. The stone shows a vibrant lime green color with medium color intensity, and it carries a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that balances natural character with visual purity. The polish is excellent, and the stone is entirely natural, with no enhancements, originating from Burma Myanmar, a source known for producing peridots with lively color and good optical properties. Compared to mass market green gems this peridot stands out because of its combination of size and clean transparency, the almost two carat weight giving it real presence in a ring or pendant, while the oval shape and mixed brilliant cut give it a modern elegance that maximizes light return and minimizes visible inclusions without sacrificing personality.

When you compare this Burmese lime green peridot to other green gemstones available on the market you immediately appreciate what it offers in quality and value. Emeralds can display deep green hues and historical prestige, yet many commercial emeralds are heavily included and routinely oiled or otherwise treated to improve appearance, while their durability can be lower due to cleavage and surface reaching fissures. Tsavorite garnet and chrome tourmaline can be brilliantly green as well, and they command higher price points for comparable sizes, while peridot of this clarity and color intensity often offers far better value per carat. Within the peridot market many stones show olive or brownish overtones, or heavy inclusions that affect transparency, whereas this particular example from Burma presents a fresh lime green that reads bright and pure in both direct and diffused light, an excellent polish that brings out the mixed brilliant cut facets to full effect, and very slightly included clarity that is only noticeable under magnification or with directed light, leaving the gem visually clean to the unaided eye. The lack of enhancement is an important advantage, it means you are buying natural color without heat treatment, dye, or other manipulations that can complicate future valuation and care.

There is a romantic quality to this stone that comes directly from its color and clarity, a narrative that our clients tell us helps a gem become more than simply a material object. Imagine a sunrise over a quiet Burmese valley where the first light slips through young lime leaves, turning every blade and droplet into a tiny mirror. In that first light two people meet beneath a tamarind tree, their laughter mingling with the cool green air, and a single fallen leaf catches the sun and glows like a small lantern. The lime green of this peridot recalls that first lantern light, bright without being aggressive, joyful without being garish, a color that speaks of new beginnings, of promises made in the open and witnessed by nature. The stone s inclusions are few and almost invisible at normal viewing distances, like a tiny shared secret between the lovers, a mark that proves the gem is natural and lived through the earth s journey to the light. That natural character creates an emotional depth that polished lab created look alikes cannot replicate, and it is this human and geological story that transforms the peridot into a symbol to hold against the skin.

From a practical perspective this peridot offers design flexibility and lasting enjoyment that make it superior to many alternatives at its price point. The oval nine by seven millimeter outline sits comfortably in classic solitaire ring designs as well as in modern halo settings where the mixed brilliant cut will interact beautifully with small surround diamonds or colored accents. Because peridot has good toughness and this specimen is transparent and clean at eye level, daily wear is entirely feasible when mounted with thoughtful protection such as a bezel or a bezel top combined with prongs, and choosing a durable metal like platinum or fourteen karat gold will help maintain the stone s facets and polish. For customers seeking unique value and provenance this stone shines, it offers the fresh lime color that stands apart from the darker greens of emerald and the scarce ultra vivid greens of rare garnets, while delivering a size and clarity combination that is difficult to find untreated. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in sourcing and presenting natural gems with full disclosure of origin and treatment status, and this Burmese peridot is an excellent example of our commitment to quality, transparency, and the romance of real stones.
