Are there any sources for gem quality periodots fron pallasite meteorites?
 with cut and pollished stones up to 5 carats? it would require cutting thick slabs of pallasites rather than the thin slices currently available, then using the larger clear pieces to be cut into ring quality gems.

cheers
Steve
