Peridot - $0.70/carat
Locality: Vietnam

This material is mixed and basically poured out of a bag.

This is mine run and some will cut clean stones and some of these pieces will cut included stones.

This is from an unusual source... Vietnam.

The color is actually very similar to the Afghan Peridot and if mixed I doubt any one could tell them apart with the naked eye. As you can see the pieces are not small, the material probably averages 1-2 grams some larger and some smaller.

This material at this price is really a deal and even with inclusions, which some of it will have, it cuts a nice checker board cut and faces up a bright stone. While it last, random pours...

Parcels Currently Available:
100 carats @ $70.00

Peridot - $8 to $30/carat
Locality: Ethiopia, Africa

This material is fairly difficult to get clean and is generally not large. The color is a nice light apple green. This Peridot has the same basic color tone of Afghan material but is in general a shade to several shades lighter than most other types of Peridot. This material cuts a very nice light apple green stone and can be mistaken for nice mint Tourmaline when cut if you do not know what it is.

Peridot - Arizona Peridot - $4 to $3/carat
Locality: San Carlos Indian Reservation, Arizona

This is a nice deal, this Peridot have been preformed (in America, by a friend of mine, so it is well done) and is from the San Carlos mine. Because this material is preformed most of the waste is gone, which if you have ever sorted and cleaned Peridot, you know is a heck of a deal.

The color is all nice, it ranges a little but nothing olivine. The preforms are various shapes and weigh 1.5 to 3 carats or so, they vary a little... most of them will easily finish a 1 carat or better sized stone. This material is clean, there maybe a ding here or there though. Parcels will vary slightly...

Parcels Available:
1 parcel of 5 grams (25 carats) - $100.00
1 parcel of 10 grams (50 carats) - $175.00
1 parcel of 20 grams (100 carats) - $300.00
