Olivine var. Peridot, ex Obodda

Item Description

Peridot is much more uncommon from this obscure Pakistan locale, than from the much more well-known and nearby Sapat Gali locality. A 1.3 cm, gemmy and lustrous, pretty lime-green, chisel-shaped crystal is jauntily attached to a matrix of a much larger peridot crystal broken at the base and smaller crystals. Bruising on the termination is noted, but this remains a showy and highly representative example of the species and uncommon locality. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
