Peridot is typically formed deep within the Earth's mantle and brought to the surface through volcanic activity. The process can take millions of years, as it requires specific geological conditions such as high pressure and heat to create peridot crystals.
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.
The density of peridot is typically around 3.27 to 3.37 grams per cubic centimeter.
Peridot is formed deep within the Earth's mantle under high pressure and temperature conditions. It is created through volcanic activity, where it is brought to the surface through magma and can be found in volcanic rock such as basalt. Peridot can also be found in meteorites from outer space.

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.
