THERE IS ALSO A VERY LIMITED SUPPLY OF THE ROUGH SINCE PALASITE METEORITES ARE EXTREMELY RARE AND VALUABLE AS COLLECTORS SPECIMENS, MAKING MOST PEOPLE UNWILLING TO CUT CRYSTALS OFF THEIR SPECIMEN FOR FACETING. PALASITE PERIDOT IS AN EXTREMELY RARE SPECIES OF OLIVINE WHICH FORMS IN ROCKY IRON BASED METEORITES. THESE RARE METEORITES WHICH HAVE AN IRON BASE AND STONEY IMPURITIES ARE EXTREMELY RARE. THE REASON PERIDOT IS ABLE TO FORM IN THESE METEORITES IS BECAUSE OF THE EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURE AND SLOW COOLING PROCESS THAT ALLOWS THE CRYSTAL TO FORM AND THE METEORITES HIGH IRON CONTENT WHICH GIVES THE CRYSTALS A GREEN COLOR. INFACT, PALLASITE METEORITES HAVE SUCH A HIGH IRON CONTENT, THAT THE PERIDOT FOUND WITHIN THEM USUALLY HAVE A MORE MORE SATURATED COLOR. EYE CLEAN SPECIMENS OF PERIDOT FROM PALLASITE METEORITES ARE RARE BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. GEMOLOGISTS PREDICT ABOUT 4-5% OF PALLASITE PERIDOT FOUND IN GEM QUALITY IS EYE CLEAN, THIS MEANS 95% OF THE GEMSTONES WILL CONTAIN INCLUSIONS. AS A TYPE 3 GEMSTONE PALLASITE IS EXPECTED TO CONTAIN INCLUSIONS AND EVEN AAA QUALITY GEMSTONES MAY CONTAIN INCLUSIONS. THIS GEMSTONE SPECIES IS A MEMBER OF THE EXOTIC - ELITE GEMSTONE CLASS WHICH IS VERY SELDOM TALKED ABOUT WITH MEMBERS OF THE RETAIL JEWELRY COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE STONES WITHIN ITS CLASS ARE SO INCREDIBLY RARE AND VALUABLE THEY ARE BEYOND REACH FOR MOST RETAIL CONSUMERS. GEMSTONES FROM THE ELITE/EXOTICS CLASS ARE MOSTLY PURCHASED BY VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE GEMOLOGISTS, SAVY INVESTORS, CELEBRITY / ROYAL JEWELERS, OR MUSEUMS MAKING THIS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYBODY TO ADD SUCH AN AMAZING GEMSTONE TO THEIR OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION. PALLASITE PERIDOT CAN BE DISTINGUISHED FROM REGULAR PERIDOT BY MEASURING ITS IRON CONTENT. PALLASITE PERIDOT HAS A MUCH HIGHER AMOUNT OF IRON THAN REGULAR TERRESTRIAL PERIDOT....more
