Peridot

Item Description

As Peridot goes, the world's supply is mostly limited to Arizona, but there have been some small finds of impressive gem Peridot in China in recent years. This material is some of the finest color I've seen for Peridot, and the sheer size of some of the gems that have come out is amazing. For the size, this is a truly vivid green color for Peridot. I have to stress that the color is slightly different in person than the photos show, as it is more of a lime green than a grass green. In fact, you rarely see Peridot gems with such a rich color like this, they're usually much more pale. It's a good size stone from this area, combined with the fact that the stone is very very slightly included makes it a very good gem for collectors. The cut on the stone is a "Heart" cut. A worthwhile stone for a collector that's well over 1 carat in weight.
