Peridot

Item Description

When it comes to faceted gemstones of Peridot, there are not many places in the world that produce clean material in any real quantity. Going back to the late 1990s/early 2000s, the world's supply of gem material received a serious boost about ago when the first great gem Peridot crystals started coming out of Pakistan. These impressive stones are 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 rather bright green color for Peridot. In fact, you rarely see Peridot gems with such a lovely color like this, they're usually much more pale. It's an excellent larger sized stone for the locality, and the material in general, and when you combine that with the fact that the stone is very very slightly included makes it a GREAT gem for collectors. The cut on the stone is an "Oval Brilliant" cut. Well worth the starting bid. Priced at $1,042.25 high retail.
