A ton of peridot crystal here! In fact, there is only a small amount of matrix - this is almost all peridot! The largest part of the matrix consists of massive (non-crystallized) peridot. The biggest crystal measures over 4 cm across! It is complete on the front with contact on side and back Just a really big, impressive and rich specimen for the species! 6.6 x 6.3 x 4.3 cm
