The best way is to take it to a lapidary or to a certified gemologist.
The quick and dirty way:
1. The stone must be a shade of green; if dark green (supposedly rarer), it means the stone has more iron in it.
2. Upon an inspection with a magnifying glass or something more powerful, you should be able to find inclusions. If it is totally clean (meaning no inclusions), then most likely it is a colored CZ (cubic zircon), aka, lab-made stone.
3. Some experts expect it to show a rainbow of colors when held against a source of light (natural and artificial). Most natural stones are expected to behave this way.

What is the most expencive peridot?
The most expensive form of peridot comes from specific meteorites, or, as they are known to collectors, pallasites.

A peridot from a pallasite found by Robert Haag is listed at $50,000. Part of that is likely the setting which is 22 karat gold, rimmed with diamond and lesser stones culled from the main peridot. On the same site for Robert Haag there is a 1.5 carat faceted peridot pulled from a pallasite. Price for that is not listed however.
