Yes, peridot is often found in igneous rocks, particularly in basaltic lavas and ultramafic rocks like peridotite. It can also be found in some metamorphic rocks that formed from the alteration of these igneous rocks.
Peridot is a gemstone composed of the mineral olivine. Olivine is a common mineral found in igneous rocks such as basalt and peridotite. So, while peridot itself is not an igneous rock, it is closely associated with igneous rocks due to its mineral composition.
Peridot is olivine, which is a mineral, not a rock. It is found in both intrusive and extrusive rocks.
Peridot is neither an igneous, metamorphic, nor sedimentary rock. It is a gemstone variety of the mineral olivine, which is part of the mantle beneath the Earth's crust. Peridot is typically formed in the mantle and brought to the surface through volcanic activity.

Mining deep in the Earth cores. Mining deep in the Earth cores. You can also find Olivine in the Igneous rock Pyroxinite. Olivine is the same thing as Peridot
No. It is olivine, which is a mineral.
Igneous rocks are composed mainly of silicate minerals. Granite is mostly quartz, feldspar and mica. Basalt is mainly feldspar, pyroxine and amphibole. Diorite can be a mixture of all of these minerals. Peridotite is mainly olivine (peridot) and pyroxine.
Igneous rock is formed.
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.
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
Obsidian is an igneous rock.
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.
