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

A single transparent 3.76 carat oval lime green peridot was born deep within the ancient soils of Burma Myanmar, lifted by hands that know the rhythms of the earth. Mined in secluded pockets where olivine crystals form in slow geological metronomes, this gem began as a rough of generous proportions. It now measures 10.88 x 8.55 x 6.15 mm, its intense color intensity preserved by careful sorting, and its clarity evaluated as very slightly included at eye level. The stone received a precise heat treatment to stabilize and enrich its lively lime tones, then journeyed to the lapidary where master cutters shaped it into a mixed brilliant oval. With an excellent polish, every facet sings with internal light, and the warm green pulses with a life shaped by time and craft. Across generations in Myanmar, peridot has been admired for its vivid green that seems to hold a shard of summer sunlight, and this particular peridot carries those stories, each inclusion like a tiny archive of its formation, and every facet reflects the care of artisans who balanced weight retention and optical performance. The Natural Gemstone Company sourced this gem with a commitment to provenance and ethical practices, ensuring that the stone moved from its birthplace to the cutter with respect for both people and place.

When compared to more common gemstones, this peridot stands apart for reasons of color driven brilliance, and light performance that is intimate rather than fiery. Diamonds produce scintillation from a very high refractive index, sapphires offer deep saturated hues with a classic sheen, and emeralds display a velvety depth often interrupted by inclusions. This Burmese peridot instead offers a luminous, lively green that disperses light into bright flashes across the mixed brilliant facets, creating a cheerful brilliance that reads immediately as life and vitality. The excellent polish and the mixed brilliant cut maximize return of light in both large flashes and a fine scintillation, making its brilliance feel more immediate and wearable than a heavy, dark stone, and more colorful than a colorless gem. Its 3.76 carat weight and generous dimensions make it ideal for an impressive solitaire ring, an eye catching pendant, or a statement pair of earrings, and the very slightly included clarity preserves a natural character without diminishing transparency. For collectors who value a gemstone with a clear story, rich provenance, and the sparkling green voice that only peridot can sing, this gem is a rare combination of size, color intensity, clarity, and cut. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this Burmese peridot, ready to be set by your jeweler and to begin the next chapter in its long and luminous journey.
