Peridot can range from transparent to translucent, depending on the quality of the stone. High-quality peridot is usually transparent, allowing light to pass through easily and showcasing its vibrant green color.
Peridot has a streak color that is usually white to grayish-white.
Peridot's luster is vitreous to oily. (:
Peridot likely got its name from the Arabic word "faridat," which means gem, or from the French word "peritot," which means ambiguous, because peridot can easily be confused with other green gems like emerald.
The streak color of peridot is white. This means that when peridot is scratched against a hard, rough surface, it leaves a white streak behind.
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.
Peridot typically has a glassy and transparent texture. It may also appear slightly rough due to natural crystal formations within the gemstone.
A deep yellowish green transparent gem could be peridot, which is a gem-quality olivine mineral. Peridot is known for its vibrant green color with a hint of yellow, and it is often used in jewelry because of its beauty and durability.
Peridot is another name for the mineral forsterite. When transparent and vibrant green, it is a popular gemstone. Pakistan is currently the top producer, other sources, past and present, include Arizona, Burma, and a small island off the coast of Egypt.
