Description

Peridot
San Carlos Indian Reservation
Gila Co.
Arizona, USA
4.52 x 3.93 x 3.42 inches (11.50 x 10.00 x 8.70 cm)

Peridot is a gem-quality olivine silicate mineral. It also happens to be the birthstone for August. This "shot put" sized ball of Peridot is quite intriguing. The apple-green Peridot has almost "grown" on its gray porous matrix much like moss. This will make for a brilliant and vitreous paperweight and make anyone "green with envy."

[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
