Rick personally recovers the peridot crystals from rare 4 BILLION year old
meteorites.
With luck, a few crystals may be large and clean enough to cut.
The result are the sparkling gems offered here, a gift of endless time and love.
Extraterrestrial peridot is found only in rare pallasite meteorites.
1. peridot crystals in a pallasite meteorite; 2. crystals
