Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color: an olive-green. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depends on the percentage of iron that is contained in the crystal structure, so the color of individual peridot gems can vary from yellow, to olive, to brownish-green.

Peridot is the gem variety of the mineral olivine found in peridotite rock. Peridot is born of fire and brought to light, one of only two gems (Diamond is the other) formed not in the Earth’s crust, but in molten rock of the upper mantle and brought to the surface by the tremendous forces of earthquakes and volcanoes.

The ancient Egyptians mined peridot on the Red Sea island of Zabargad, the source for many large fine peridots in the world’s museums. Inhabitants of this island believed Peridot to be a gemstone of the gods, having the ability to glow at night while fighting off evil spirits. Originally mined only at night, when its colour was visible against the rock among snake-infested lands. The Egyptians called it the “gem of the sun.”  

It is said that Moses wore a peridot in his defensive armour as protection. 

The Romans called them the “evening emeralds” because of the way they caught and reflected lamplight. The Romans used Peridot to protect them from depression and deception.
