13.23 Ct. Green (Lime Green) Cabochon Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

This pear shape peridot presents a rare combination of size and precision cutting, weighing 13.23 carats and measuring 27.40 x 9.40 x 6.70 mm. The cutter achieved an elongated pear shape with a length to width ratio of approximately 2.9 to 1, creating a refined teardrop silhouette that is visually striking and mechanically balanced. Rather than faceting, this gem is finished as a cabochon with a smoothly domed crown and a gently rounded base, a choice that emphasizes the stone s chroma and internal clarity while minimizing the vulnerability of sharp facets. The material is transparent with an intense lime green hue that is evenly distributed from point to base, and the polish is graded excellent, resulting in a high lustre surface and clean light return. Clarity is described as very slightly included at eye level, with only minimal internal features visible to the naked eye, and the stone is confirmed to be free of any enhancement. Origin is Burma Myanmar, a source known for producing peridots with saturated, appealing greens, and the combination of provenance and natural condition enhances the gem s collector and bridal appeal.

From a design and wearability perspective this 13.23 carat cabochon peridot is an exceptional option for an engagement piece that seeks individuality and technical refinement. The substantial thickness of 6.70 mm provides depth and structural stability, making the stone well suited to protective settings such as a secure bezel or a low profile rub over mount, which will preserve the polished dome while allowing the color to remain the focal point. For those who prefer a ring setting, a custom mounting that supports the pointed end and cushions the rounded base will mitigate the risk associated with peridot s Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, while a diamond halo or micro pavé surround will increase perceived brilliance through contrast. The cutter s attention to crystal orientation and polish produces a gem that reads as eye clean and vividly colored, attributes that appeal to connoisseurs and to couples seeking a standout engagement stone. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this untreated Burmese peridot as a distinctive center stone for an engagement design that values technical excellence, natural color, and enduring craftsmanship.
