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

This peridot, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a transparent, emerald cut gem weighing 3.21 carats, with precise dimensions of 9.92 x 7.84 x 4.98 mm. The stone presents a lime green hue with medium color intensity, and an assessment of very very slightly included at eye level. The cut is an emerald style, executed with excellent polish and careful facet symmetry. The provenance of the material is Burma Myanmar, and the gem has undergone a stable heat treatment to optimize its color saturation. The clarity, polish, and dimensional proportions were evaluated to ensure a consistent face up appearance, and the stone exhibits a clean table and well defined step facets that support a balanced presentation in a variety of mounting styles.

The emerald cut enhances the inherent optical properties of this peridot by organizing light into broad, linear returns rather than into isolated pinpoint scintillation. The large table and concentric step facets create a hall of mirrors effect, producing pronounced flashes of light across the table and along the pavilion facets. This arrangement emphasizes internal clarity, so the very very slightly included clarity grade contributes to an open, luminous face up, with inclusions minimized in visibility due to their small size and placement. The measured depth, approximately 56 percent relative to the average of length and width, supports controlled light return, avoiding excessive leakage while maintaining a flat, elegant profile. The medium color intensity works in concert with the step cut geometry to present saturated lime green tones without appearing overly dark, and the excellent polish enhances contrast between facet planes, sharpening the transitions that define the step reflections. Heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and even out color distribution, which further refines the uniformity of light transmission across the pavilion. Overall the cutting proportions, facet alignment, and polish of this emerald cut peridot produce a composed optical performance, prioritizing clarity based brilliance and linear light play, attributes that are clearly articulated in this specimen from The Natural Gemstone Company.
