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 sharp single crystal that has bright, glassy luster and choice green color with gem clarity throughout!!! The specimen is in fantastic condition and is very lively and dynamic in person!!! These classic Red Sea peridot specimens are unlike any other and immediately recognizeable in person!!! Classic material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!!
