Peridot From Outer Space!
Independent Laboratory Certified "Meteoric Origin"
Our gems are 100 % buyer satisfaction guaranteed or money back!

Extraterrestrial peridot is found only in rare pallasite meteorites.
Rick personally recovers the peridot crystals from 4 Billion year old iron/nickel
meteorites.
Then the crystals that are large enough and clean enough to cut are sorted and graded.
Hopefully, a few pieces will be cuttable and the result is the sparkling gems offered here.
The GEM FROM HEAVEN!
1. peridot crystals in a pallasite meteorite; 2. crystals
recovered from the meteorite; 3. Stinson's ET "All triangles" cut.
