Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color: basically yellow-green through olive-green to bottle-green. The intensity of the color depends on the presence of iron. The common color of Peridot gemstone is brilliant green - check out the images here: http://www.mysolitaire.com/peridot/ Its the birthstone of those born on August.
The name "peridot" is Greek for "to give richness."
Peridot's luster is vitreous to oily. (:
The most expensive form of peridot comes from specific meteorites, or, as they are known to collectors, pallasites. Peridot found in these is usually not in great shape due to impact, but when they are workable for faceting can run thousands of dollars above earthly peridot. 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.
The Ruby isn't the birthstone of Leo, it's July's birthstone. The sign Leo covers from July 23rd to August 22nd. The sign Cancer, meanwhile, runs from June 21st to July 22nd. Therefore, the Ruby is the birthstone for some Cancers and some Leos, because they are born in July, not because of their Zodiac sign.
