Peridot (good sized stone)

Item Description

Peridot is a well-known gem, and the traditional birthstone for August, but despite its renown, there are honestly only a few places in the world where fine quality gem material is found. For quite some time, the gem industry relied on good gem material coming out of Arizona, and in the 1990s fine gem quality Peridot started coming out of Pakistan, which really gave the market a shot in the arm. Not only was the color and quality of the Pakistani material superb, but some of the stones were large by Peridot standards. Here we have a very good sized "Oval" cut gem with glowing green color. The stone is only very slightly included, and it would make it an excellent gem for a collector or a piece of jewelry. Priced at $1,316.25 retail.
