4.72 ct Green Peridot - Cushion

At 4.72 carats, this peridot from Burma carries its green color through a cushion cut, measuring 7.5 x 5.9 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.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
