I HAVE HAD THIS CONTAINER FULL OF ROUGH TUMBLED PERIDOT FROM THE SAN CARLOS INDIAN RESERVATION IN ARIZONA FOR A LONG TIME. THE LOT CONSISTS OF A TOTAL OF 70 CARETS! This is a nice group of rough tumbled peridot from the San Carlos Indian Reservation in Arizona. I rough tumbled some of these many years ago to get an idea as to how much of it was facet grade. Her are 6 nice pieces with good color and a minimum of inclusions. If they have inclusions, they are close to the edge of the stones so that you should be able to orient them in such a manner that you will have little loss when they are cut. I weighed up 6 pieces and they total 70 carets. The pieces range in size up to 17.5 carets (7/8" long) and most of them are fairly blocky so should cut some nice stones. I imagine you could get some stones up to several carets in size. Every one of them should cut a nice stone. The colors in the pictures are pretty accurate. They range from a light to a fairly dark green. I am sure that just cutting one of the nicer pieces will be worth more than the listing cost for the parcel. I am listing these at a starting price of $9.99 and this figures out to about 15 cents a caret, if you can find a better deal anyw please go get it!!! The pictures were taken lightly sprinkled with water under Fluorescent lighting with no enhancement whatsoever. To really understand the look of the parcel you just have to look at the pictures and decide what it is worth. If you want to contact me on this listing I should be available most weekday evenings but only on late evenings during the weekends because I do Arts and crafts shows almost every weekend. I should add although I have listed a shipping price below in the shipping information block, but if it is actually less I will only charge the actual UPS or USPS shipping charges that it costs if you wait for instructions from me on the actual shipping price to your location. I also don't add any additional packing or handling fees but if you want insurance be sure and ask for it to be added to the cost. Although I pack items very well, I can't guarantee no damage if you don't have insurance on it. I SHOULD ADD THAT IF YOU BUY MULTIPLE ITEMS, THAT I DO COMBINE INTO ONE SHIPMENT TO SAVE YOU SHIPPING COSTS!! One other thing, if shipping overseas, the charges below don't apply, instead I will charge the actual shipping charges to the country that the specimen is going to. Please contact me and let me know how you want the mineral shipped if USPS priority mail is not OK. If you are unhappy with a purchase of any of my minerals please contact me and I will gladly discuss what can be done to correct the problem. I want to have happy long term customers. Please don't leave negative feedback until you attempt to resolve any problems with me. Thanks for looking at my specimens. I spent 5 years living in Shanghai China w I was working as an electronic engineer for an american company. I spent my spare time on weekends and holidays pursuing my long time hobby of collecting minerals. I am married to a beautiful Chinese lady who has helped immensely with this passion. With her help I ended up making contacts with miners and setting up a partnership with a chinese man who takes care of business for me in China. When I returned from China I was laid off from my job 2 years ago, so I have been importing and selling these minerals mostly wholesale accross the country in order to feed the family. read more
