2.32 Ct. Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

This pear shape yellowish green peridot weighs 2.32 carats, and measures 9.97 x 7.93 x 5.00 mm, making it a substantial and visually commanding gem for use in custom jewelry. The mixed brilliant cut of this stone has been executed to balance sparkle with weight retention, combining brilliant style facets with modified pavilion facets to maximize return of light while preserving the carat weight and overall proportions. The color is vivid, a clear yellowish green that is characteristic of fine peridot, and the stone exhibits excellent polish that allows clean facet junctions and crisp light return. This peridot is transparent and untreated, with no enhancements reported, and originates from Burma Myanmar, a source known for producing peridot with intense coloration and attractive clarity. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present this natural gemstone with full disclosure of its origin and cutting details for buyers who prioritize provenance and laboratory grade attributes.

From a grading and clarity perspective this peridot is evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, which for an educated buyer means the inclusions are minimal and do not materially affect face up appearance or brilliance. In practical terms the stone appears eye clean to most observers at normal viewing distances, while a trained loupe inspection would reveal the faint internal characteristics that are expected in natural olivine based peridot. The mixed brilliant cut and the excellent polish work in concert to reduce the visual impact of any small inclusions, allowing broad flashes of light and scintillation that emphasize the vivid hue. The dimensions yield a length to width ratio of approximately 1.26, which is a classic pear proportion that reads as elegant and versatile in settings, and the depth is approximately fifty six percent when calculated against the average of the length and width, a depth profile that supports both durability and optimal light performance. For buyers accustomed to technical grading language this combination of vivid color intensity, very slight inclusions, excellent polish, and natural untreated origin represents a compelling balance of rarity and value.

This peridot is particularly well suited to custom jewelry because of its size shape and optical properties. At just under ten millimeters in length and close to eight millimeters in width the pear silhouette provides a flattering focal point for rings where it will visually elongate the finger, for pendants where the teardrop orientation creates graceful movement, and for single drop earrings or asymmetric designs where a singular vivid color anchor is desired. The point of a pear can be protected by a discreet prong or bezel to guard against knocks, and the mixed brilliant facet pattern allows designers to place accent diamonds or colored stones so that they enhance sparkle without overwhelming the primary hue. Warm yellow gold settings will enrich the yellow green tones for a vintage inspired look, while white metals combined with a delicate diamond halo will increase perceived brightness and contrast for a more modern statement. For clients seeking bespoke work The Natural Gemstone Company can assist with matching specifications for mounting tolerances, recommending depth adjustments for bezel settings, and advising on metal selection and accent stones to ensure the finished piece highlights the peridot fingerprints of color clarity and natural origin. This gem offers a rare combination of vivid natural color, substantial size, and classic pear geometry that makes it an ideal candidate for a meaningful custom jewelry commission.
