Van-Daaz's Interplanetary Gem Projects for the new millennium

Our Interplanetary Esquel-Meteorite Harvested Peridot Lot

Van-Daaz is now in exclusive possession of all currently available faceted and polished extraterrestrial Peridots, from the Esquel metorite, in the market, and is proud to offer them to you. Van-Daaz's Interplanetary Peridot gems are shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity of Origin (in fact, regardless of this measure--most of the Esquel Peridot bear typical marks and inclusions unknown in terrestrial Peridot see examples), a copy of the article about them in the GIA's very own "Gems & Gemology" and a special Transmillennia Commemorative Certificate. In addition to the few faceted Peridots Van-Daaz possesses also a limited number of Esquel polished cabochons. Due to the limited number of available Esquel Peridot gems-- no wholesale inquiries, please, and all sales are final.

Table Statistics: Number of Esquel Peridots offered: 41 Smallest offered stone:~0.083 Crt. (8.3 points) Round Brilliant Largest offered stone:~0.173 Crt. (17.3 Points) Oval Brilliant Cut. Lowest priced stone: US$250 Highest priced stone: US$1,950. Notice: Sizes are in carats; Accordingly, a 0.089 Crt. is an 8.9 point stone (almost 9 points...)

Notice that the ideal proportions of the diamond cut do not apply to Peridot. The Peridot appearance is determined, primarily, by its unique color, a characteristic green-yellow, somewhat on the greener side in most specimen, and by the overall gem "shine". The sentimental value of it, as affected also by the awareness of its unparalleled provenance and extreme rarity, contribute much to its special appreciation and endearment
