Peridot is relatively abundant compared to other gemstones, with large deposits found in places like the United States, Egypt, and China. However, high-quality peridot with desirable color and clarity is rarer and therefore more valuable.
Yes, the February birthstone, amethyst, is generally considered rarer than the March birthstone, aquamarine. Amethyst is a type of quartz that can be found in several locations but is less commonly available in larger, high-quality pieces compared to aquamarine. Aquamarine, which is a variety of beryl, is more widely mined and often found in larger gemstones, making it more accessible. However, the perception of rarity can also depend on specific qualities and market demand.
is aquamarine used for anything other than jewelry

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.
No. Peridot is olivine.
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.
