Peridot is the gem variety of the mineral Olivine it is a iron magnesium silicate. The colors range from a bright limey yellowish green to a deep luscious leaf green of the stones from the High Himalayas of Pakinstan.
The Peridot pair on auction here were earth mined at the Manrka Kheil Mine in Pakistan, which in my opinion (and many others) produces the finest Peridot in the world. The neon like Parrot Green colour with faint hints of gold is simply breathtakingly beautiful.
At a combined weight of 3.09 Carats, this magnificent pair of Manrka Kheil Peridot, are something very special indeed.
The Suppatt region is nestled in the highlands above the Indus River Valley of the Himalayan Mountains and getting there is no field trip. It is said to take a seven-hour horseback ride before the grueling two day hike to the mining area can even begin.
According to Laura Thompson, President of “Shades of the Earth” in Arizona, travel is very very dangerous due to the high incidence of landslides. Because of the ruggedness of the terrain, not to mention the winter snow deep enough to cover a large house, mining is limited to only a few months of the year.
