Peridot from Upper Kohistan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan

Peridot which is sometimes called Chrysolite is a gem-quality olivine and a silicate mineral. Its green color depends on the iron content within the structure of the gem. Peridot occurs in silica-deficient rocks such as volcanic basalt and pallasite meteorites. This particular Crystal features a sharp, well-formed, lustrous, lime-green peridot crystal with double terminations. The quality and aesthetics are truly amazing in person.
