Peridot is a gemstone cherished for its vibrant green hue, ranging from a lively yellow-green to a deep olive green. As the birthstone for August, peridot's color is often associated with warmth, vitality, and renewal. It is one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one color, though the intensity and shade can vary depending on its iron content.
Originally known as "chrysolite" in ancient times, peridot's distinctive green color comes from the presence of iron within its crystal structure. It is a transparent gemstone with a vitreous luster that can range from transparent to translucent. Peridot often displays a unique phenomenon called double refraction, where light passing through the gemstone splits into two beams, enhancing its brilliance and sparkle.
Peridot is relatively soft compared to other gemstones, scoring 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it important to handle with care to avoid scratches or fractures. Despite its softness, peridot is still suitable for a variety of jewelry styles, from rings to earrings and necklaces, due to its beautiful color and captivating clarity.
The largest known peridot deposit is on the Egyptian island of Zabargad (St. John's Island), though peridot is also found in Pakistan, Myanmar, China, and the United States, among other locations. Throughout history, peridot has been revered for its supposed protective powers against evil spirits and nightmares, making it a gemstone with cultural significance and enduring popularity.
Whether admired for its vibrant green color, its historical significance, or its association with positivity and healing, peridot remains a beloved gemstone choice for both jewelry enthusiasts and collectors seeking to add a touch of nature's verdant beauty to their collections.
