Crushed Green Peridotite (Olivine + Pyroxene) Sand from India, Medium Sand (0.25mm-2mm) for Ring Inlay, Resin Art, Memorial Jewelry

Peridotite is the primary rock composing most of Earth's mantle. It consists mainly of three minerals: olivine (also known as peridot), clinopyroxene, and orthopyroxene. This rock forms exclusively under the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions found deep within the Earth’s mantle. This crushed peridotite is composed of 90% olivine, with approximately 5% each of clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene.

EXTRA LISTING INFO

We prioritize providing high-quality materials for all artisans; therefore, our stones are natural and untreated unless otherwise specified. Photos may showcase both wet and dry crushed stone. Please note that wet stones can appear darker, which may resemble the finished look of the material after it's sealed with an adhesive.

We use the metric system for all size measurements, with units in millimeters (mm). Refer to the product photos for a visual guide using a metric ruler (cm/mm).
