Robert Michael mines for Peridot on his own mining claim located South of Hartsel, Colorado.  He faceted one of those crystals into a 7x5mm pear-shaped gemstone weighing .7 carats.  Robert then set the gems in this Sterling Silver Pendant.

The Peridot crystals that Robert unearths at his claim tend to be on the small side, but the color and clarity are fantastic.  Additionally, this location produces gemstones that consistently display a very slight yellow tint mixed with the green, which gives Peridot such a unique color.  The Arizona Peridot has a stronger yellow presence, and are easily differentiated.  The yellow-green mix is mostly determined by the amount of Iron present in each Peridot crystal.

A very short silver-colored chain will be included in the gift box with this item, but please be aware that this chain is for display purposes only.  It is used solely to hold the pendant upright in the box.    It is made of inexpensive basic metal, not Gold or Silver.   If you would like to include a Sterling or 14kt White Gold, please take a peek at the “Other Items” category and make your selection.  Click on “Options” to view availability and prices.  If we are out of stock on this chain and you would like one, send us a note using the Product Inquiry form.  We’ll ship it to you as soon as possible, but this may take up to two weeks or more.
