A while back I asked about gem quality periodot so i could have a ring made
from a stone from the heavens for my Angel. There is a market if done right.
Unfortunately the color of the periodots or paladots women do not find
attractive. I ended up getting her a almost flawless half carat champane
diamond surounded by white saphires. The total cost having the ring made was
less than $400. I sincerely believe that marketing some of the black to brown
stones not considered gem quality but still beautiful if cut right would be
more accepted as paladots. When you think of a meteorite most people think
black and burned. So go with what people expect to see and you will have
something. Plus all terestrial periodots are green to yellow. There would be no
faking a black stone and it has no scientific value. There will be no market
for a light colored periodot from a meteorite with so many gem quality
periodot from other sources. I have some black periodots
from Brenham meteorites and they look awesome when cut
