Exquisite 19g Supat Valley Peridot Crystal Discover the pinnacle of Pakistani mineralogy with this exceptional 19-gram Supat Valley Peridot Crystal. Sourced directly from the world-renowned high-altitude deposits of the Manshera District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan, this raw specimen represents the finest qualities that collectors demand. With precise dimensions of 3 x 2 cm, it is a robust and visually commanding piece that captures the intense, neon-green essence of pure peridot.
A Premium Raw Peridot Specimen. What sets this specific Supat Valley Peridot Crystal apart is its remarkable internal gemminess and distinct surface features. As visible upon close inspection, the crystal faces display beautiful vertical striations—a natural hallmark of its growth process over millions of years. The color saturation is a vivid, electric lime green that catches and refracts light beautifully, showcasing a glassy luster. It features a fascinating, semi-flat, terminated top, giving it a unique geometric presence. For a specimen to survive the extraction process with such incredible transparency and structural integrity makes it a highly prized acquisition.
The Exceptional Locality: Manshera District, Pakistan. The Supat Valley is globally celebrated among gemologists and mineralogists for producing the finest peridot in the world. The crystals formed in the rugged Himalayan and Karakoram ranges are subjected to extreme geological pressures, resulting in large, euhedral olivine structures. Because mining in this harsh, remote terrain is incredibly labor-intensive and seasonal, extracting a gem-grade, intact Supat Valley Peridot Crystal of this caliber is rare. The $1,200 valuation of this piece directly reflects its rarity, pristine condition, and high-end collector status.
Collector’s Value and Display: This 19g peridot is a museum-grade investment piece, tailored for serious collectors of fine-quality minerals. To preserve its flawless aesthetic, we recommend displaying it in a well-lit mineral cabinet where its natural fluorescence and clarity can take center stage. While peridot has a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, care should be taken to avoid displaying it alongside harder stones, such as corundum or quartz, to prevent scratching its natural crystal faces.
