Awesome lot of bright vibrant Apple Green Peridot from Supatt, Pakistan. This is a sweet lot of top facet grade rough having almost all the bad stones taken out! We have gone through this material and sawed and cobbed a portion of it to get it as clean as possible. Most stones in this lot should cut eye-clean or better with a little work; however, there are a few stones that have some minor inclusions that should mask up well or facet out. We estimate that roughly 90%+ of this lot is top grade facet rough.

Most of the pieces in this lot are uniform in color consisting of the Apple Green that Pakistan is known for without the Olive overtones. There are some lovely stones in here and the lot is well worth the price! This is one of the few lots of Pakistani Peridot we have on hand and we are really just wiping it out to make room for new rough shipments that are lined up for the year.

1. Pakistani Peridot has climbed the charts to become known as the best and is for  Peridot what Kashmir is for Sapphire! There really is no other Peridot that compares with the Pakistani material as far as color and quality go on a consistent basis and as stones get larger there is no competition!

2. The Pakistani Peridot mines are located at an altitude of roughly 15,000-16,000 feet and are roughly a 6 hour trek over several mountains on mule & foot (This is for a 1/2 way experienced climber and it will take considerably longer for a novice)! The Supatt area is known to have some of the world's most breathtaking sites and you can see some of these in our picture galleries.
