2.27 Ct. Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

This cushion shape green peridot weighs 2.27 carats and measures 7.37 x 6.49 x 6.23 mm, presenting a transparent body and an intense color intensity that reads as a vivid apple to lime green with subtle olive undertones. The stone is faceted in a mixed brilliant style, with a brilliant crown arrangement paired to a modified step pavilion that maximizes light return while preserving strong internal flash and scintillation. The cutter has maintained a well proportioned table and pavilion depth to enhance brightness, and the facet junctions display precise alignment that contributes to the excellent polish. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, the inclusions are minor and well positioned so as not to disrupt overall transparency or the gem s luster. Optical properties typical of peridot are evident, including moderate birefringence that gives slight doubling of facet edges at high magnification, and a vitreous luster that complements the intense green. No enhancement has been applied, the material is natural and untreated, and the finish and symmetry reflect meticulous lapidary technique that emphasizes both face up color saturation and lively return of white and colored light.

This peridot is sourced from Burma, Myanmar, a region with a long history of producing gems prized for their saturated hues, and it carries the heritage of peridot as a protective amulet and a traditional stone in jewelry across cultures. Historically similar peridots were set into bezel and closed back mounts to protect their color, and were worn as talismans and devotional gems, making this specimen well suited to classic ring settings and heritage inspired designs. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem as an example of refined craftsmanship married to natural origin, ideal for connoisseurs who value geological provenance, cutter intent, and the uninterrupted nature of an untreated gemstone. For design planning the dimensions and mixed brilliant faceting make this peridot adaptable to handcrafted settings that emphasize the cushion outline and allow for secure bezel or prong work while preserving maximum light performance and color saturation.
