A wonderful peridot crystal featuring vivid green color with beautiful translucency that glows intensely when exposed to strong light. The crystal contains notable ludwigite inclusions, adding unique character and rarity, while a slight spray of magnetite on the back further enhances its mineralogical interest. Aside from damage at the top and back, the crystal remains in good overall condition and displays excellent presence. Peridot is the gem-quality variety of olivine and is prized for its vibrant green color, while inclusions of minerals such as ludwigite and magnetite make specimens like this particularly unusual and sought after by collectors. The combination of peridot with both ludwigite and magnetite creates a rare association, making this a highly interesting and collectible specimen.
