Milky aquamarine is a naturally occurring aquamarine that is translucent to opaque, rather than being transparent or allowing light to pass through completely. Although a completely transparent aquamarine is more valuable, milky aquamarine can be very nice. Its colors are generally the same as aquamarine, with the appearance that milk was added.

Aquamarine is between 7(Quartz) and 8(Topaz) on MOHs scale of hardness. But, Aquamarine is closer to 8(Topaz) than 7(Quartz). :-)

No. Peridot is olivine.
A peridot is a peridot; a diamond is a diamond. They are different gemstones. If 'peridot' is used as a word to modify the description of a diamond, one might deduce that the diamond had a slight lime-green colour. Any diamond's value is based not only on its colour, but its cut, carat weight and clarity.

Peridot quartz is just the color possibly. Peridot is actually a semi precious stone. Cabochon is a type of cut. As for the Peridot Quartz.....I am not sure if it is actual peridot or a another name game to sell lab-created crap.
