Great lot of bright vibrant Apple Green Peridot from Supatt, Pakistan. This is a sweet lot of mostly facet grade rough. The larger portion of the stones in this lot should cut eye-clean to slightly included with a little work; however, there are quite a few stones that will cut in the slightly to moderately included end. We estimate that roughly 50%+ of this lot is High to Top Grade Facet Rough and will need to be cobbed or sawed while the remainder is a mix of Cabbing Rough and additional Faceting Rough. Most of the stones in this parcel were selected out for NOT being completely clean and if we were to cob the material we probably wouldn't sell it for less than twice the marked price!

Please note that most if not all of these stones do have some inclusions and the white veiling common to Pakistani Peridot; however, I'm confident with a little hard work and some grinding you should be able to produce some spectacular gemstones from this lot. 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. This is PREMIUM sized material averaging in around 11 CARATS! There are some lovely stones in here and the lot is a STEAL for the price! This is a liquidation price we have on this just to move it out the door so don't miss out!!

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.
