VIVID GOLDEN YELLOW COLOR AND NEAR EYE CLEAN CLARITY. PALASITE METEORITES ARE A RARE FORM OF METEORITE THAT RESEMBLE STAINED GLASS AND HAVE MANY CHUNKS OF COLORED GEMSTONES. VERY RARELY A GEMOLOGIST WILL FACET THESE GEMSTONES SUCH AS IN THIS INSTANCE. THESE GEMSTONES ARE VERY HARD TO FIND BECAUSE PALASITE METEORITES ARE EXTREMELY VALUABLE IN THEIR NATURAL SPECIMEN STATE AND FACETING THEM GREATLY REDUCES THE WEIGHT. THE OUTCOME IS A GORGEOUS BUT EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE GEMSTONE USUALLY WITH RETAIL PRICES BETWEEN $1000 AND $3000 PER CARAT. THE MOST COMMON COLOR IS GREEN, THEN COOL COLORS SUCH AS BLUE WITH THE RAREST COLORS BEING WARM COLORS LIKE RED AND ORANGE. PERIDOT IS THE MOST COMMONLY FOUND GEMSTONE IN PALASITE METEORITES BUT SOMETIMES OTHER GEMSTONES WITH OTHER COLORS ARE FOUND. THESE ARE A SEPARATE GEMSTONE SPECIES ENTIRELY. THESE UNIQUE GEMS ARE CALLED PALASITE GEMSTONES RATHER THAN PALASITE PERIDOT.
