Dark olive green peridot grains that crystallized deep within the earth's crust aggregated into a 1.5" long nodule. This peridot nodule was then carried up to the surface by basaltic magma & gasses and ejected into the atmosphere during a volcanic eruption. The porous lava hardened into a 0.3" thick concentric layer of dark basalt around this peridot xenolith, forming a peridot "lava bomb". This peridot lava bomb was later engulfed by a basaltic lava flow which hardened around it. The photo at left shows a close-up, see also the full-view photo.

Would you like us to inform you when we add more lapidary grade natural rough materials on our website?
We have over 100 tons of lapidary rough in stock at our mineral warehouses, so be sure to let us know if you have any special requests. Please contact our webmaster or our 'site' geologist with any questions or comments.
