Olivine var. Peridot St John's Island, Red Sea, Egypt 1.63cm x .92cm x .54cm

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 partial crystal with a sharp termination and glassy faces!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that the edges of the specimen have velveteen networks of minute crystalline features!!! 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!!!
