This Peridot crystal has unusually fine, intense lime-green color, very good gemminess, and a good termination. Internally, you can see inclusions of needle-like crystals of the rare species Ludwigite, for which this locality is known. The luster ranges from very good to slightly frosted. This superb gem crystal has a mass of 16 grams and a highly saturated lime-green color, much better than the normal quality.
