25.68 Ct. Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

There is a moment when light meets stone and the ordinary world tilts into something green and luminous, and this pear shaped peridot invites you into that moment. Weighing 25.68 carats, and measured at 22.90 by 17.80 by 10.20 millimeters, this gem sits like a drop of summer held between fingertips, a translucent oasis of vivid green that seems to breathe. Originating from Burma Myanmar, its heart carries the mineral story of olivine, polished by human hands and warmed by a professional heat treatment that clarifies and deepens its color. Evaluated as eye clean at eye level, the surface reveals no distractions, only an even field of color and light, and an excellent polish that allows the stone to sing. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this piece as an heirloom of light and feeling, a stone that asks to be chosen for moments when words alone are not enough.

The secret of its unmatched sparkle is written in the language of facets and crystal physics, a careful choreography between cut and internal structure. This peridot wears a mixed brilliant cut, a union where the scintillating fire of brilliant faceting on the crown is balanced by the measured geometry of step like facets deeper in the stone. The crown returns dancing flashes to the viewer, while the pavilion and table guide light inward and then fling it back as a cascade of pinpoint brilliance and broad flashes. The gem’s refractive index sitting near the range 1.654 to 1.690 strengthens the play of light, and its birefringence of about 0.036 to 0.039 adds subtle internal doubling that creates depth and complexity with each movement. Those numbers are more than measurements, they are the reason a single sunbeam becomes a chorus, why the panels of green appear to shimmer as if wind were passing through them. The depth of 10.20 millimeters is generous enough to give the pavilion space to focus light, the dimensions allow a comforting balance between table and girdle so that light does not leak aimlessly but is harnessed, sculpted, and returned. With excellent polish, each facet becomes a tiny mirror, and where mirrors meet the right angles and proportions, the stone becomes a living beacon.

To wear this peridot is to carry a fragment of forest light and the memory of a place beneath an open sky, and to promise that small things can hold vast feelings. Its vivid color intensity makes it a romantic companion for an engagement setting that seeks to be different and deeply personal, and its eye clean clarity ensures that emotions are not obscured by internal whispers. We name the enhancement honestly, heat treated, so the beauty is both natural and carefully refined. At The Natural Gemstone Company we value the provenance and the craft that shape a gem, and this Burmese peridot embodies both origin and artistry. Imagine it set in a bezel that cradles the pear silhouette, or in a halo that multiplies its fire, or close to the skin where every heartbeat catches a new reflection. This is a stone that does not merely sparkle, it converses, it remembers, it kindles. If you are seeking an encounter with light that is rare and intimate, this peridot waits, ready to become the luminous witness to new stories and quiet vows.
