AWESOME lot of bright Vibrant Apple Green Peridot from Supatt, Pakistan. This is a SUPER SWEET lot of some great Facet Grade rough. Many stones in this lot should cut eye-clean to or better with a little hard work; however, there are a few stones that are more on the very slightly to slightly included end. We estimate that roughly 60% of this lot is TOP Facet Grade while 70-75%+ of the lot as a whole is decent Facet Grade.

Please note that some 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. Most of these 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 as the Average weight in here is almost 3 Grams PER STONE!!

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.
