The Mineral district in San Carlos is host to the world's largest deposit of Peridot in addition to numerous other colored stone varieties which are closed properties and are protected by members of the Apache. The current Reservation spans 1.86 million acres of desert, plateau, and forested lands historically a geological wonder. Apache Peridot is one of myriads of gemstone that keep the people working close to the land with an intimate relationship of stewardship and care taking. Mineral collection is limited to members of the Apache Nation and permits are required for visitors to enter the reservation. San Carlos remains as one of the oldest reserves for the Apache.
