Comment: The majority of the world's supply of gem quality Peridot (especially before anything came out of Pakistan) is in Arizona. The material is well known for it's vibrant green color and great clarity. Here we have very good bright green color, very very slightly included "Round" cut gem from one of the few places in the world that produces gem quality Peridot in any quantity
