Geological Origins in Manshera District, Pakistan
The Supat Valley, located in the remote regions of the Manshera District in KPK, is a legendary locality for world-class peridot. The unique geological conditions in these Himalayan and Karakoram ranges allow the mineral olivine (also known as gem-quality peridot) to crystallize into large, euhedral crystals. Mining in this region is incredibly difficult due to the extreme elevations and harsh weather, making it rare to extract a fully intact, damage-free Supat Valley Peridot Crystal of this size and caliber.
