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 Burma in recent years. This material is some of the most interesting and attractive 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 eye-catching 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 yellow-green than an emerald green. In fact, you rarely see Peridot gems with such a rich color like this, they're usually much more pale. It's a very good size stone from this area, combined with the fact that the stone is only very very slightly included makes it a very good gem for collectors. The cut on the stone is an "Oval Brilliant" cut.
