Nice lot of bright vibrant apple green Peridot from Supatt, Pakistan. This is a great lot of mostly cabbing grade material; however, there are some nice stones in here that will support faceting. Most of these pieces are uniform in color consisting of the Apple Green that Pakistan is known for without the olive overtones. In addition, this material ranges from very slightly included to heavily included with most material being slightly to heavily included.

We have a limited amount of Peridot on hand and are really just wiping it out to make room for new rough shipments that are lined up for the year. This material was sawed and cobbed to take out all the opaque excessively dark & included material and as such most of it is nice stable cabbing rough. This is priced as medium cab grade and that is what you should purchase it as! The price on this is a steal and is well worth the investment for the right person!!!

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 should 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.
