If you are searching for the perfect engagement ring centerpiece that will stop conversations in their tracks, or if you are a collector hunting for a rare and characterful gem that tells a story, this cushion shape peridot may be precisely what you have been seeking. Many customers come to us wanting more than a pretty stone, they want a gem with personality, with natural origin, with the kind of color and life that only the earth can produce. Whether your priority is a vivid lime green that flatters many skin tones, a size that makes a statement without overwhelming a design, or a stone with excellent polish and faceting to maximize brilliance, this peridot satisfies those needs and reassures you that your search is complete.

This is one beautiful transparent 2.28 carat cushion shape green lime green peridot with dimensions of 8.96 x 6.89 x 4.55 mm. The gem is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that combines the soft, elegant silhouette of a cushion outline with the scintillating fire of brilliant faceting, resulting in lively light return and a modern yet timeless look. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating that at typical viewing distances the stone appears clean and free of significant inclusions, while still bearing the tiny, natural characteristics that confirm its authenticity. The color intensity is medium, giving the stone an approachable, wearable lime green that radiates warmth and personality. The finish is of excellent polish, and the stone has been heat treated, a commonly accepted and stable enhancement, to bring out the best in its natural color. The origin of this peridot is Burma, Myanmar, an origin that appeals to connoisseurs who appreciate provenance and the distinct character associated with specific mining regions.

Visual and practical considerations matter as much as provenance, and this peridot excels on both counts. Its cushion shape and mixed brilliant faceting give a balance of depth and brilliance that makes the stone ideal for a variety of settings, from a refined solitaire engagement ring, to a halo design that amplifies its hue, to a bespoke pendant or pair of earrings where the lime green can be shown in movement. At 2.28 carats, and with the measured proportions of 8.96 x 6.89 x 4.55 mm, the gem offers substantial presence without overpowering delicate designs. Peridot typically registers around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, which means it is durable enough for everyday wear with sensible care and protective settings, and its excellent polish ensures smooth facets that catch and return light beautifully. The very very slightly included clarity contributes to a lively appearance, while remaining visually clean, so the stone reads as bright and vibrant both in natural daylight and under artificial lighting.

When comparing this natural Burmese peridot to lab grown gemstones, several distinct advantages of natural stones become clear. Lab grown gems can be attractive and offer predictable color and clarity, but they do not carry the same singular narrative of natural formation over geological time. Natural peridot like this one comes with internal features that are unique to each specimen, tiny fingerprints of the earth that confirm origin and individuality. Collectors and couples choosing an engagement gem often prize this uniqueness, and they value provenance and the subtle variations in color that occur in natural stones sourced from notable regions such as Burma, Myanmar. From a long term perspective, many buyers appreciate that natural gemstones have a history of collector interest and distinct market appreciation for certain origins and qualities, whereas lab grown alternatives are more uniformly produced and more readily available, which can affect perceived rarity. The fact that this peridot is heat treated is an important transparency, it is a minimal enhancement that improves color while preserving the stone s natural identity, unlike some treatments that can compromise a gem s long term stability or value.
