A peridot is a light green to olive-green gemstone and the intensity of color depends on the amount of iron present in a peridot's chemical structure. The deeper the olive green, the more valuable the stone. It is mostly sourced from Pakistan, Burma, Afghanistan and China and it has a hardness factor of 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale.
