Item Description

This is a classic matrix example of what have become some of the finest peridot crystals in the world. No world locality has produced the quality and quantity of euhedral peridot crystals like Soppat. This specimen is a very attractive and features two, sharp, gemmy, lime-green crystals on smaller crystals. The large crystal is 2.2 cm. These crystals are uncommon today, as the supply has dried up. There are only a few world localities where one can find well-crystallized peridot specimens such as this. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
