Arizona produces the majority of the world’s gem grade Peridot.  Burma, China and Pakistan started producing large quantities of Peridot in the last 20 years, but I just love US gem, and this one is a staple. This is a beautiful Concave cut Round that brilliantly amplifies the light return.  This stone has beautiful flash in normal lighting conditions and looks dazzling in sunlight.  This color is typical from Arizona, and beautiful in jewelry.  Apprentice cut at Kosnar Gems, Colorado, USA.  Enjoy!
