Great lot of Vibrant Apple Green to Olive Green Peridot from a fairly new find in Ethiopia. This is a sweet lot of Faceting and Cabbing Grade Rough. We estimate that roughly 35%+ of this lot is Medium to High Grade Facet Rough while the remainder is a mix of Cabbing Rough and some additional Faceting Rough that will need to be sawed and/or cobbed out. Please note that many of these stones do have inclusions and the lily-pad/veiling common to 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.

This material is very similar to that typically produced in Arizona and varies in color slightly from piece to piece. There are some lovely stones in here and the lot is well worth the price! This is a liquidation price we have on this just to move it out the door so don't miss out!!!

1. Ethiopia has been producing Peridot for some time; however, we have recently seen a spike in the volume of material that is making its way into Tanzania. The material resembles typical Arizona material and occurs in a broad spectrum of colors unlike most material from Pakistan which is generally very uniform. We have seen pieces that get up close to about 10 Grams and are confident production will increase in the near future.
