Pakistan itself is surrounded by India, the Arabian Sea, Iran and Afghanistan. The Suppatt region in Pakistan is located in the high grounds above the Indus River Valley of the Himalayan Mountains, once home to one of the earliest Neolithic civilizations. Pakistan, like Burma, was once part of British India. However, when India gained independence in 1947, Moslem leaders stipulated that a separate Moslem state be created, and the nation of Pakistan was born.

When compared to the crystals heralding from Arizona and China, Suppat’s Peridot crystals are larger with fewer inclusions. This makes it particularly easy to facet into larger sizes often cut in sizes over 15 Carats, so while not being able to compete with year round commercial Peridot producing countries of China and Arizona, the Suppat material can offer a more affordable alternative to the finest Burmese Peridot.
