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

There are few gems that carry the weight of history and the freshness of spring so effortlessly as peridot, a stone that has been treasured for millennia by civilizations across continents, and this exquisite example from The Natural Gemstone Company continues that long standing legacy. This one beautiful transparent 2.93 carat round shape green lime green peridot, measuring 9.05 x 9.00 x 5.46 mm, is a modern heirloom in the making. Cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish, it embodies both the ancient reverence for peridot and the exacting standards of contemporary lapidary art. Originating from Burma, Myanmar, and enhanced by careful heat treatment, this peridot speaks to generations who have valued stones for their beauty and symbolism as much as for their provenance.

Across history peridot has been associated with solar light and protection, known to ancient Egyptians as a gem of the sun, and it has graced the treasuries of kings and the reliquaries of sacred spaces. The vivid lime green hue of this gemstone carries that same luminous quality, evoking verdant hillsides and new growth, while retaining a clarity and intensity that translate beautifully into jewel settings. In a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, the stone will not merely sit within metal, it will command the eye, offering a reservoir of lively green that shifts from crisp lime to warm olive as it catches light. Designers and collectors who favor classic silhouettes will find this peridot especially suitable for settings that honor tradition, such as a timeless solitaire or a three stone composition, where its brightness can serve as a focal point that remains unmistakably sophisticated.

The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to honor the balance between fire and brilliance, making every facet an invitation to look deeper. The excellent polish ensures that light is returned to the viewer with clarity and vivacity, and the very very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level confirms that the stone reads as clean and transparent in ordinary wear, while retaining the natural character that collectors prize. Peridot sits at a comfortable place in the gemological spectrum, allowing it to be set into heirloom pieces that are meant to be worn and enjoyed across seasons. The heat treatment applied is a standard enhancement that stabilizes and elevates the stone without obscuring its natural origin or character, and the Burmese provenance adds a layer of historical resonance, since the region has long been known for producing colored gemstones that combine intensity and depth.

When planning a setting for this luminous peridot, consider metals and designs that allow the color to sing while preserving a timeless silhouette. Yellow gold will warm and amplify the lime tones, suggesting a classical, almost ancient aesthetic. Rose gold will introduce a gentle contrast that modernizes the stone without abandoning tradition. Platinum and white gold will provide a neutral canvas that emphasizes the gemstone s brilliance and gives the piece a refined, museum quality presence. Whether set as the centerpiece of an engagement ring that celebrates an unconventional yet enduring sensibility, or mounted as a pendant intended to be passed down, this peridot will stand out in any jewelry setting, its vibrant color acting as both signature and story. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in presenting stones that are as rich in history as they are in visual appeal, and this 2.93 carat Burmese peridot is a perfect example of tradition translated into modern wearable art.
