Item Description
A pleasing equant, lustrous, lime-green, peridot crystal from Soppat, Pakistan. This is a classic example of what have become some of the finest peridot crystals in the world. No world locality has produced the quality and quantity of euhedral peridot crystals like Soppat. The crystal is pristine and lightly etched. One termination edge is contacted, but has no damage, per se. These were relatively common for a short while and now are hard to get. An excellent thumbnail example. 9 grams.
