About Peridot as a Gemstone
Peridot is the gem variety of the mineral olivine, and it is idiochromatic, meaning its green comes from iron that is an essential part of its own chemistry rather than an impurity. Because of this it is always green, varying only in tone. You can read more via gemmological reference, mineral data.
Peridot forms deep in the mantle and reaches the surface in basaltic lava. It has also been recovered from certain meteorites, making it one of very few gems known to occur beyond Earth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Peridot?
This stone measures 13.7 x 10.45 x 6.9 mm and weighs 7.6 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
Is this stone suitable for a ring?
With a hardness that sits in the moderate range, this stone is best suited for pendants, earrings, or occasional-wear rings that do not experience heavy daily impact.
How does peridot compare to tourmaline?
Peridot is easily recognised by its signature yellowish green hue, whereas green tourmaline tends to display a deeper, more forest or bluish green colour palette.
What metal colour suits this gemstone best?
Yellow gold and warm rose gold accentuate the natural golden undertones of the material, while white metals create a sharper contrast for the green hue.
How should I clean this gemstone?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove everyday dust and oils from the pavilion and table facets after setting.
