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

This transparent 2.27 carat cushion shape peridot measures 7.37 by 6.49 by 6.23 millimeters, and is executed in a mixed brilliant cut that pairs a brilliant style crown with a precision modified pavilion to maximize face up scintillation and strong light return. The cushion outline is well proportioned, with crisp facet junctions and an excellent polish that yields clean facet reflections. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, meaning inclusions are minimal and do not materially affect transparency or optical performance under normal viewing. Color is an intense lime green with vivid saturation and even distribution across the table and crown facets, a characteristic hue for high quality peridot from Burma Myanmar. There are no enhancements, the gem is natural and untreated, and standard gemological properties for olivine group peridot apply, including a refractive index in the range of 1.65 to 1.69 and notable birefringence which contributes to the brisk interference flash seen in motion. The cutter has optimized pavilion facet angles and crown height to balance brilliance with color delivery, producing lively dispersion without sacrificing weight retention.

This stone carries the long heritage of peridot as both an ornamental gem and a talisman, echoing the use of similar gems in ancient regional jewelry where peridot was prized for its solar like green and supposed protective virtues. Historically worn as amulets and set in gold for clergy and nobility alike, peridot has been used to convey protection and prosperity, and this Burmese example is ideal for settings that honor that lineage while emphasizing technical excellence. For connoisseurs this peridot performs well in both bezel and four prong mountings, where the mixed brilliant cut will read strong face up color in a ring or pendant without losing the dynamic internal reflections prized by collectors. As presented by The Natural Gemstone Company this peridot represents a convergence of traditional gem heritage and contemporary lapidary technique, offering precise cutting, an intense and even color grade, and natural origin provenance that experienced buyers will appreciate.
