From a solid nickel-iron meteorite, I recover the meteoric
peridot crystals. They are graded and cut into the sparkling
gems offered here. I try to treat customers the way I want to be treated,
that is, personal service and NO games, with attention to your
order and budget. I recover, I cut for fine quality - not weight,
and I guarantee your satisfaction.*

NOTE: There is a considerable difference in color when viewing this website on a laptop!
Laptops color on ET peridot gems are too green!! Colors are best seen using a desktop tower computer/monitor.
Meteoric peridot usually has a golden flash and/or yellow-green body color. This is due to inclusions found only in meteoric peridot.
