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

This transparent 2.52 carat oval peridot from Burma is a compelling choice for anyone seeking a gemstone that combines lively lime green color with exceptional optical clarity. Measuring 10.05 by 7.83 by 5.06 mm, the gem presents a generous face up area that maximizes presence on a ring or pendant, while the mixed brilliant cut brings a vivid play of light that many commercial peridots lack. Compared with the more common smaller peridots and the heavily included pieces often offered on the mass market, this stone stands out for its clean appearance, evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, and its excellent polish, which together translate to immediate visual impact when set. The medium color intensity places this peridot in a sweet spot between pale green stones that can look washed out under indoor lighting, and overly dark material that loses sparkle, offering versatility for both everyday wear and special occasion pieces. When buyers compare stones, this peridot frequently outperforms similarly priced alternatives because it combines size, clarity, and cut quality in a way that is rare for mid market peridots.

The origin of a gemstone is a major factor in both aesthetic character and market value, and Burmese peridot carries a distinct set of advantages. Myanmar is known for producing gems that often display fine crystalline quality and stable, saturated hues, and collectors and designers tend to prize origins that contribute to a clear story for provenance. Compared to peridot sources such as Pakistan, Arizona, or China where material can vary widely in clarity and tone, Burmese peridot of this caliber is less commonly offered in commercial inventories, which enhances its desirability. Origin also informs buyer confidence, because certain localities yield more consistently attractive material, and gem buyers who value traceable heritage will find that provenance influences resale value and collectability. We disclose that this stone is heat treated, which is a widely accepted enhancement applied to improve uniformity and color stability, and that full disclosure is an important part of the purchase. This transparent treatment, combined with the attractive Burmese origin, often places this peridot ahead of untreated but visually compromised stones, because it offers predictable and pleasing appearance without sacrificing durability.

Cut, finish, and honest representation are the final elements that determine whether a gemstone truly outclasses alternatives on the market, and this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company excels on each count. The mixed brilliant cut is specifically chosen to balance scintillation and color, drawing light into the pavilion to create lively flash without muting the lime green hue. An excellent polish ensures that the facets deliver crisp reflections, which is a meaningful advantage over stones that are merely well colored but poorly finished. The very very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level means the gem will appear clean in most settings and under normal viewing distances, which is a performance benefit compared with many peridots that show inclusions that interfere with brilliance. At 2.52 carats the stone offers substantial presence while remaining versatile enough for a wide array of mounting styles. Buyers who compare similar options will find that this peridot represents superior value, because it pairs collectible origin, reliable enhancement disclosure, and high quality cutting and finishing. At The Natural Gemstone Company we provide detailed descriptions and high resolution images, and our team is available to advise on settings and to confirm how this gemstone will perform once mounted. Choosing this Burmese peridot means selecting a stone that is visually striking, technically well made, and transparently presented, making it an informed and satisfying acquisition for collectors and jewelry designers alike.
