3.54 ct Green Peridot - Round

At 3.54 carats, this peridot from Burma carries its green color through a round cut, measuring 9.8 x 6.4 mm.

Peridot is the gem form of olivine, colored green by the iron in its own structure, one of the few gems that occurs in a single color. Burma has supplied the gem trade with prized material for centuries, from narrow and irregularly worked deposits. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
