Item Description

An aesthetic cluster of matrix peridot crystals dominated by the large crystal with the gemmy chisel termination. The gemmy, transparent to translucent, and lustrous crystals have lime-green color. The DT crystal has a modest bit of edge wear. The frontal view is pristine. Contacting noted on the back and base, but there is actually very little damage. This is an excellent peridot from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this piece at $450, five or more years ago. Rare on the market today, with the ongoing conflict.
