Thanks everyone for all the wonderful compliments! I honestly was a bit hesitant about posting pics because it feels so small compared to all of y''all''s.

I took a couple of closer detail shots that I''ll upload in the morning. Still can''t get good pictures of the faceting, it''s such a shy stone.

Size isn’t everything; a small stone with nice colour will have a bigger visual impact than a large stone with blah looking colour. Also, all pictures are welcome and admired here as we are equal opportunity gemstone oglers.

About to get a photo overload. Hoping these pictures show better detail!

Closer detail of profile. My mom said to ignore her "old lady hands"

Not edited, just with an angled flash. Closest thing to the color except for the one through the magnifying glass in a second.

I have no idea why, but I really like this picture... Oh, and it''s not a dark gem, this is just it wanting to sleep.

Two more after this one.

More straight on than the last one.

Last one, taken through my mom''s sewing magnifying glass., shows the faceting, but not brilliance... oh well. It has amazing symmetry though!

Oh, and if anyone else reads this, what are the care instructions for peridot? I know it''s not an everyday wearable things, but is there anything else?
