Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of peridot from this historic locality!!! This locality has been mined for peridot since 1300 B.C.!!!
The locality was all but exhausted by the end of the 19th century!!! These old time St. John's Island peridot specimens represent
some of the finest examples of the species and are only found today in old collections!!! This specimen consists of a single
crystal with a sharp termination and glassy faces!!! The specimen has characteristic lively green color and gemmy clarity!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
