Arizona is famous for its rich deposits of copper and for being the only place in the United States where gem-quality peridot is found. Copper, a vital metal used for thousands of years, occurs naturally in brilliant shades ranging from deep reddish-brown to shimmering metallic hues. Peridot, often called the “evening emerald,” is a gem-quality variety of olivine prized for its vivid green color. When found together, these two natural treasures highlight Arizona’s unique geology and mineral wealth.
This genuine Arizona Copper and Peridot comes neatly packaged in the pictured 3 x 2" display case, making it a striking piece for collectors, educators, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of natural minerals.
