    For peridot fans out there (I am one) Pakistan produces largish crystals, often bounded by perfect faces, the size of the tip of your thumb. Not from basalt, rather an altered magnesite that has been metamorphosed by hot fluids. Gem rough dealers offer these, about the same price range as gem garnet.

    Beautiful gems! I'm definitely jealous! Wanted to make a couple points on what you were saying early on about the deposition of this material. Not that I'm disagreeing with you on how _this_ deposit occurred, but olivine can crystallize out of basaltic magma (though from the looks of this stuff, I'd agree with your xenolithic interpretation), and columnar basalt isn't always necessarily plutonic. If you have flood basalts that fill in deep troughs on surface, they can cool slowly enough to form columnar jointing. Great video, loved seeing you bring a noob out for such an exciting day, and best of luck moving forward with the permitting!
    Cheers!
