Self collected (ethically sourced) and slabbed specimen of AAA grade olivine, perfect for cabbing or for display.

See extra photos for cabbing ideas, we create cabs and shapes from this material which we collect from Mt Shadwell ourselves.

The slabs we sell are suited to grinding from a 320 grit, and matt polish on a 3,000 grit. 

They do not require stabilizing, although you could do so if you want a high gloss finish. We do not sell slabs that don't handle the 'snap' test. Looks like surface cracks sometimes in between the peridot crystals but we check these and the ones we sell are surface only. They are strong slabs. 

Peridot is associated with strength & balance, it is believed to bring peace, health and rest - by harmonising the mind and body. It is also thought to boost creativity and improve your mood. Peridot relates to the heart chakra. Peridot is one of the modern birthstones for August. Also known as the "sun gem", it is primarily made up of olivine, magnesium, and iron. 

Each olivine bomb is unique in it's composition of minerals, and many contain clear peridot crystals which are visible in the slabs and cabs.

Sitting at the bottom of one of Victoria’s most recently active volcanoes, Mortlake is rich in natural history. 
Mortlake is situated at the foot of a dormant volcano, Mount Shadwell, formed 25,000 years ago. It is believed that it last erupted about 5,000 years ago. Self-proclaimed as the olivine capital of Australia, large ejected rocks from Mt Shadwell are called volcanic bombs.
