50.61 Ct. Green Peridot from Burma (Myanmar)

From the hidden veins of northern Burma, a single crystal began its long conversation with light, a conversation that would take it from rough olivine to a magnificent, transparent peridot of uncommon size and depth, presented to you by The Natural Gemstone Company. This 50.61 carat cushion shaped gem measures 28.47 by 18.57 by 11.76 millimeters, and its presence is immediately arresting, because peridot of this scale and this intense green is exceptionally rare. Most peridots offered on the market appear in smaller parcels and tend toward lighter or more olive tones, whereas this stone carries an intense, vivid green that reads saturated and lively even under varied lighting, a color tone often found only in the finest Burmese specimens. The cutter respected the original crystal, choosing a mixed brilliant cut to balance weight retention with maximum sparkle, and the result is a gem that radiates internal fire from each facet, with an excellent polish that allows the eye to travel through its body freely. Its clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning inclusions are minute and the gem reads clean without magnification, a clarity profile that further elevates its rarity in conjunction with the scale and color of the piece, and importantly, the gem is untreated, with no enhancement, a wholly natural expression of Burma's geological artistry.

The journey from mine to workshop to the final gem is visible in every plane and facet, and the human hand that shaped it honored the stone rather than imposed upon it, preserving its natural saturation and creating a cushion silhouette that will sit beautifully in a bespoke ring or a signature pendant. Collectors and designers will recognize that a peridot of this carat weight and intense hue is not simply a larger example of a familiar gem, it is a distinct category of rarity that commands attention and imagination, a conversation starter that links geology, geography, and craftsmanship. For those who seek stones with provenance and presence, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this Burmese peridot as a rare, unenhanced treasure, a piece with story and substance, ready to be set into heirloom jewelry or catalogued as a museum quality example, please contact The Natural Gemstone Company for additional images, measurements, and to discuss custom mounting options.
