DESCRIPTION:

Great lot of mostly Apple Green Peridot Faceting Rough from China. Do NOT let the frosted surface on these stones fool you as this is all SELECT MATERIAL! We estimate that roughly 85%+ of this lot is High to Top Grade Facet Rough while the remainder is a mix of Medium to High Facet Grade. The color on this is pretty consistent and is generally a nice bright Apple Green with little or no Olive overtones.

Please note that some of these stones do have very minor inclusions common to Chinese Peridot; however, I'm confident with a little hard work and some grinding you should be able to produce a spectacular eye-clean or better gemstone from practically ever stone in this lot. This material was sorted out for calibrated commercial cutting and the Chinese did a damn fine job insuring consistency in color, clarity and shape!

This material is very similar to that typically produced in Arizona and may vary in color very slightly from piece to piece. We are just testing the market for this material so don't miss out!!! If you take a look around you will see there isn't much Peridot Faceting Rough entering the market and we don't know how much more of this material we can get! If this material were Pakistani in origin we would NOT be selling it for less than 2 TIMES THE COST!

COOL FACTS:
  1. China has been producing Peridot for some time; however, we have only recently started dealing in Chinese Facet Rough. The material resembles typical Arizona material and occurs in a broad spectrum of colors unlike most material from Pakistan which is generally very uniform.
