IMPORTANT: The attraction of natural stone products comes from the uniqueness of each item. The products presented on this web site will vary in color, texture, pattern, veining, and other features. The degree of variance depends on the material (e.g. marble, granite), and on the individual product itself.
While peace problems and corruption are the thwarting of the country, Pakistan can still capitalize on its for economic gain. Marble is among the top precious natural sources of income and only in the latter half of the year 2008, Pakistan’s marble export rose to over $17.5 million against the $9.6 million a year ago.
The global demand for Pakistan’s marble, which is considered one of the best qualities in the world, is increasing. Saudi Arabia’s projects for building new cities are the latest in view, implying great potential of purchasing Pakistan’s marble on a large scale. Saudi Arabia also has plans for erecting the world’s tallest building (around 1000 meters tall) while close to 300 civil construction projects are already either in progress or in design across the Saudi kingdom. All this construction means a great amount of profit for Pakistan via the export of its high-quality marble.
The government has fixed the target for marble export at $35 million for 2008-09. In the next 5 years, marble export is expected to increase to about a billion dollars – a great boost for Pakistan’s economy. However, certain challenges need to be overcome as well; the main challenge being the power crisis in the country which is hindering the processing of raw marble in the marble factories. Updating the machinery and technology for enhanced performance of the marble industry is another major requirement. Together with granite (used in construction); marble leads the list of Pakistan’s economically viable mineral deposits.

The chief peridotite deposits lie on a slope toward the bottom of the largest hill about 1000 meters south of our camp. Rock tailings cover the entire area and most tunnels have been obliterated by dumps. Because these cover even older dumps, it is possible that all of the oldest workings lie beneath newer waste rock. Previous miners had used large screens to sift out crystals from the ore, and a careful search failed to reveal a single large crystal. Overlooked, however, were tiny peridot crystals up to 0.5 centimeters in length which were scattered about a few of the tailings. We collected a score or so of these little crystals–exact microminiatures of the larger crystals seen in museums.
From our observations it seems evident that because of the great size of the deposit some peridot crystals must have been overlooked and remain in deep fissures underneath the dumps. But a large-scale mining operation on Zabargad would require enormous effort. Potable water would have to be converted from seawater; pumps, wash tables, water lines, and tractors could be landed on the island only at great expense. The problems of establishing a base camp, of recruiting a viable and trustworthy crew, of obtaining official mining rights effectively prohibit a successful mining venture.Color. Peridot is ideochromatic, being colored by the ferrous iron that is basic to its composition. The ideal color is a rich grass-green, but some peridot is yellowish green, greenish yellow or brown. The best colors of peridot generally contain about 10–15% of iron.
Lighting. Peridot is not as light dependent as red and blue gems. It tends to look good under all lights.

Lighting. Peridot is not as light dependent as red and blue gems. It tends to look good under all lights.
Prices. Peridot ranges in price from about $50–80/ct. for well-cut gems in the 1–2 ct. size, up to as much as $400–450 ct. for large fine gems of top color.
Stone Sizes. Peridot is common in sizes ranging from melee to faceted stones of 10 cts. or more. Fine faceted stones of greater than 300 carats are known, but quite rare.
Sources. Gem peridot has been found in a handful of places around the world. In large sizes (10 cts. plus), Pyaung Gaung in Burma’s Mogok Stone Tract is most important. Faceted gems of hundreds of carats are known from this deposit. In the 1990s, a new deposit from Pakistan’s Suppatt region was discovered, and this material is every bit the equal of that from Burma.
In the US, the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation supplies good material, but this rarely cuts gems above 10 cts. Peridot is also mined in China, Brazil, Australia and Norway, among other places. The historic deposit of Zabargad has not produced at all in decades.
Enhancements. Peridot is not typically enhanced.
