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

A singular presence in the realm of collectible gems, this transparent 13.67 carat oval lime green peridot commands attention with its generous dimensions of 16.82 x 12.66 x 9.34 mm and its undeniable provenance from Burma Myanmar. The gem presents a vivid green that sits at the intersection of freshness and depth, a color described by connoisseurs as intensely alive. Evaluated as eye clean at standard viewing distance, the stone offers an unbroken visual field that allows its color and internal reflections to be admired without distraction. The excellent polish amplifies the surface clarity, producing mirror sharp facet junctions that catch the light and send it back with crystalline precision. Heat treated to enhance and stabilize the already striking hue, this peridot combines natural beauty with expert intervention in the service of visual perfection. Each measurement is a statement of balance, the generous length and balanced girdle giving enough table real estate to show off the broad, luminous face, while the rich depth of 9.34 mm supports an architecture of internal reflection that is uncommon in stones of this scale.

The cutting style is faceted, executed in the Portuguese cut, a refined and complex arrangement that transforms the inherent optical properties of peridot into a living spectacle of light. The Portuguese cut is distinguished by a profusion of facets on both crown and pavilion, a constellation of planes that captures and multiplies incoming light into scintillating flashes and a soft, velvety glow. In this peridot, the cut has been painstakingly tuned to the stone dimensions, the oval outline elongating the visual field and guiding light along a graceful axis that enhances the perception of size and color saturation. The generous pavilion depth and the precise crown angles orchestrate successive internal reflections, yielding exceptional brilliance and scintillation, while the multitude of small facets breaks light into lively pinpoints that dance across the surface with every subtle movement. The result is a gem that does not merely display color, it animates it, converting the lime green into layers of luminous depth, from bright energetic sparks to deeper, more contemplative green tones. The eye clean clarity ensures these effects are uninterrupted, allowing the peridot to breathe light fully and freely, while the excellent polish assures every facet boundary is crisp, maximizing return and minimizing light leakage.
