A stunning, gemmy, transparent, lime green crystal of peridot from this classic location. Unlike most such crystals, it is transparent and not merely translucent; and it is sharp and well terminated, not soft or rounded on edges. The camera always makes these look less gemmy, as it picks up internal light reflections and refractions, and so it looks more clear and clean in person. 12 grams. Laszlo Kupi photo.
