I'm partial towards San Carlos, Arizona, peridot because it is a true American gem. If you haven't already read our pages on the San Carlos gemfield, click here. Shown above is a nice nodule of olivine fragments in grey basalt. These peridot fragments are quite large, not quite facetable, but larger than the typical shattered olivine nodule. This is a nice "showy" specimen. (#99, priced at $15.00) BACK
