Dramatic acicular crystal inclusions of ludwigite, a rare magnesium, iron, borate.
Unusual peridot showing bold black ludwigite inclusions crossing through a soft green body, creating a dramatic natural pattern that looks almost like ink lines suspended in the stone.
Included peridot like this is a collector favorite because the inclusions turn the gemstone into a natural scene stone while still retaining the bright character of peridot. Pakistani material is especially respected, and examples with strong contrast and visible ludwigite needles are a real standout
