For , a wee bowl of peridot (olivine) I dug out of the world-class deposits on San Carlos Apache land east of Phoenix, AZ. We were invited and accompanied to the mining/claim site by a tribal member with tribal permission, which we were told is pretty rare. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a great honor, and an incredible day.
