Item Description
An impressive, large euhedral crystal from the prime worldwide peridot locality. This specimen is certainly one of the larger complete and pristine peridot crystals that we have encountered from Pakistan. The crystal has a textbook chisel termination. The color is a gorgeous lime green and the crystal absolutely glows when backlit. The frosted, waxy luster faces hide the fact, that the crystal is quite gemmy. The side car crystal adds much pizzazz. 116 grams. A very fine large peridot.
