    A marvelous and well-written article. 

    While the world=92s largest 'cut' peridot of 310 carats resides at the
    Smithsonian, the worlds largest uncut peridot of 329 carats was
    discovered and still remains in Myanmar, or Burma as us diehards
    still call it. One can only wonder what size it will be if
    eventually cut. Check out:

    or

    Burmese peridot is not as rare as one might think. See: 

    http://www.gemwow.com as an example. 

    I may be wrong, but why do the prices on this page seem so low?
