Item Description

These are some of the most well-known Peridot crystals in the world. We started seeing them on the market in the early 1990s, and it's safe to say that no world locality has produced the quality and quantity of euhedral Peridot crystals like Sapat Gali. This piece is a very gemmy, beautiful vibrant green color single crystal with elegant etching patterns on the surface, creating a one-of-a-kind look. The top portion of the crystal is virtually transparent when backlit (I would say it's bordering on gem quality), and it just GLOWS with color. A nice example of these classic Peridot crystals.
