About Peridot

Peridot a variety of the mineral olivine, with a vivid green colouring and one of the few gemstones which only comes in one colour. Its colour is caused by iron ions and can vary from a yellow-green to a brownish-green depending on the amount of iron present. Peridot also has a double refraction which can be seen when you look closely through the gem, you will see two of each pavilion facet. Peridot is mostly eye clean, but tiny black spots may be apparent upon magnification. Peridot was known as 'the sun gem' by ancient Egyptians and amazingly, it has been proved that peridot is an extraterrestrial stone by finding peridot crystals in meteorites! It is mined in Brazil, Hawaii, Greece and Pakistan. Peridot measures 6.5-7 on Mohs hardness scale.
