DESCRIPTION:

Great lot of Vibrant Apple Green Peridot from Supatt, Pakistan. This is a sweet lot of mostly facet grade rough with the Ludwigite inclusions Pakistani Peridot is known for. Please note that this material is not eye-clean caliber for the most part and is cut for its Inclusions! This material cuts stones similar to Quartz with Tourmaline needle inclusions and is an oddity in the Peridot world being only produced in Pakistan. Most of this rough is Faceting grade material; however, there are also a few spectacular crystals in here as well as some great cabbing rough. This material can be either cabbed or faceted as both bring out the beauty of the Ludgwigite inclusions. I'm confident with a little hard work and some grinding you should be able to produce some spectacular gemstones from this rough. This was purchased at a steal AT the Peridot mines and we are passing on the savings to you so don't miss out.

COOL FACTS:
  1. Pakistani Peridot has climbed the charts to become known as the best and is for  Peridot what Kashmir is for Sapphire! There really is no other Peridot that compares with the Pakistani material as far as color and quality go on a consistent basis and as stones get larger there is no competition!

  2. The Pakistani Peridot mines are located at an altitude of roughly 15,000-16,000 feet and are roughly a 6 hour trek over several mountains on mule & foot (This is for a 1/2 way experienced climber and it will take considerably longer for a novice)! The Supatt area is known to have some of the world's most breathtaking sites and you can see some of these in our picture galleries.
