Sapat Gali Peridot Crystals on Serpentine Matrix
Located above 4,000 meters in the mountains of Kohistan, Pakistan, the deposits at Sapat Gali produce what mineralogists consider the gold standard for crystallized forsterite peridot. Unlike granular volcanic nodules, Sapat pegmatitic veins yield sharp, free-standing prismatic crystals measuring several centimeters across.
Specimen Attributes:
- Color Profile: Vibrant apple green, rich olive, and deep lime-green hues resulting from ideal magnesium-to-iron geological ratios.
- Matrix Associations: Sharp peridot prisms perched securely on lustrous dark green serpentine, magnetite octohedrons, or snowy calcite.
Curation & Provenance
All specimens feature documented mine-to-market provenance from Kohistan, unheated and unpolished, selected strictly for sharp crystal geometry and optical clarity.
