![EDUCATION THURSDAY: PERIDOT & LUDWIGITE
I personally used to hate peridot. It was a stone that I found pretty ugly, if I'm being honest. Over the past year; however, I have found myself growing much more fond of the gem. What initially captivated me was peridot with inclusions of ludwigite. There's a lot of sellers out there that are selling the peridot as "rutile peridot", but that is not what it is. [It is my understanding that rutile developing inside peridot is highly unlikely because the growth conditions required for each mineral are not compatible. Further, G&G (SUMMER 1983) indicated that tests were conducted on peridot specimens at that time and the inclusion of rutile was essentially ruled out.]
Ludwigite a magnesium-iron borate mineral and is considered a rare mineral. Ludwigite-vonsenite in peridot from Pakistan was discovered in 1994; a location for which the @giagrams (G&G Winter 2004) reported is the only locale in the world producing this duo. Due to its rarity (and other factors, I'm sure), ludwigite in peridot specimens, gemstones, & jewelry come with a high price tag. (Personally I've seen cut gems alone that are well-over $5,000!)
The gemstone in this photograph is one of my gems that have a lower amount of ludwigite inclusions, but I definitely have others that really showcase the incredible inclusions. I would say that if you like unusual and/or rare gems, definitely check this stone out, even if it's not with me.
Hope this info was useful!
