Item Description
An aesthetic cluster of matrix peridot crystals dominated by the impressive, 2.4 cm, doubly terminated crystal with a sharp chisel termination. The gemmy, transparent to translucent, and lustrous crystals have rich lime-green color. The DT crystal has a modest bit of edge wear. Periphery is noted, but is certainly acceptable in the context of this excellent peridot from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this piece at $300, five or more years ago. Rare on the market today, with the ongoing conflict. This fine piece has many display possibilities, as you can see.
