Fuli Gemstones
In 2015, the largest known peridot deposit in the world (among those identified as of 31 December 2023) was discovered in the foothills of the Changbai Mountains in north-eastern China. Fuli Gemstones International Holdings Ltd ("Fuli") acquired the mining rights and started the development of the Yiqisong Nanshan mine in late 2021. With the mine construction underway, commercial production is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2025, providing a consistent supply of well-graded peridot gemstones to the global market.
Fuli peridot is a rich, vibrant, saturated green, due in part to a slightly lower iron content than other deposits of peridot. In terms of clarity, Fuli's peridot is generally eye clean compared to other localities and is also not treated or enhanced in any way.
Fuli aims to become the first zero-waste mine for coloured gemstones in the world. By managing every stage of production, from mining through to cutting and polishing, Fuli ensures unparalleled oversight and control over the quality and consistency of its finished products.
