A fine and bold example of the rarest form of gem Peridot - that which originates in the stony-iron meteorites known as pallasites. This particular fall, the Jepara meteorite, is well known as one of the few that has been capable of producing gem rough. As you might imagine, these have had quite a life and it is exceedingly rare for any gemmy sections to remain intact. The cutting and color here are superb, far above what is normal for a stone that is priced so high on a per-carat basis. Entirely eye clean, under 10x you will see a few of the fine needles that are diagnostic inclusions for Jepara. A fantastic gem and a great size for these. With lab report from GIT.
