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 9.5 mm diameter x 5.6 mm depth and weighs 3.3 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How durable is this stone for everyday wear?
With a moderate hardness rating, it handles daily wear well provided you take sensible precautions. It is robust enough for rings and pendants, though avoiding hard knocks against abrasive surfaces will keep the facet junctions sharp.
What metal colour suits this green hue best?
Yellow gold complements the warm undertones of the material wonderfully, while white metals provide a crisp, modern contrast that makes the green colour pop.
How should I clean this gemstone at home?
Wash the stone gently using warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove dust from the pavilion facets. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Is this stone associated with a birth month?
Yes, this material is traditionally recognised as the birthstone for August. It makes a thoughtful and personal gift for birthdays occurring during that month.
