Peridot

No, it is the birthstone for August and it is kind of clear green color. I think it is considered to be a semi-precious stone.

Peridot is a gem used in jewelry.

However, there is the "other green gem" - peridot - a stone whose pedigree can be traced back as far as the early Egyptian civilization. Worn by Cleopatra throughout her reign, peridot was one of her most-prized possessions. Since gemstone sciences were archaic at best during that pe-riod of history, stones were identified by color alone. A few scholars even believe that many of Cleopatra's emeralds may even have been peridots in disguise.Regardless, peridot has a long and distinguished history. Peridots have been admired and prized by monarchs and clergy alike. They have been used as talismans to ward off evil and for adorn-ment, finding their way into such homes as pendants, rings, crowns, scepters, and even the han-dle of daggers. Some of the largest and finest peridots may still be found in the cathedrals of Europe, although many were thought to be emeralds until the advent of gemology as a science.

To mine peridot, tools such as pickaxes and shovels are commonly used for manual extraction in small-scale operations. In larger commercial mining, heavy machinery like excavators and bulldozers may be employed to remove overburden and access the gem-bearing rock. Additionally, tools for sorting and refining, such as screens and classifiers, help separate peridot from other materials. Safety gear, including helmets and gloves, is also essential for protection during mining activities.

You JUST spelt it! not to smart are u?

Peridot gemstones typically range in price from $50 to $400 per carat, depending on factors such as size, color, clarity, and cut. High-quality peridots with vivid green hues and minimal inclusions can be more valuable, while larger stones may also command higher prices. Overall, while they are generally more affordable than other gemstones like diamonds or emeralds, their value can vary significantly based on individual characteristics.

Olivine

Actually in ancient Egypt

Peridot is a gem-quality variety of the mineral olivine, which forms in the Earth's mantle at high temperatures and pressures. It is typically created through volcanic activity, where magma containing olivine crystals cools and solidifies. Peridot can also be found in meteorites, indicating that it can form in extraterrestrial environments. The gem is often extracted from volcanic rock or alluvial deposits where it has been weathered and eroded.

The price of peridot can vary widely based on factors like quality, size, and market demand. On average, peridot can range from $50 to $400 per ounce, with higher-quality stones commanding higher prices. It's best to consult a gem dealer or jeweler for specific pricing based on the current market.

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.

Peridot is a gemstone known for its vibrant green color, ranging from olive to lime green. It is believed to promote abundance, prosperity, and emotional healing. Peridot is also associated with cleansing negative energies and promoting positive transformation.

You can wear it on Little finger or on ring finger. But seek the thing (that u want from the stone) before u wear it. Periodically meditate and try to talk with your gem stone, communicate to it- its purpose vise versa listen to it. Make it your friend.

this is the summary of my personal experience with peridot. I got what i want from its capacity.

The best way is to take it to a lapidary or to a certified gemologist.

The quick and dirty way:

1. The stone must be a shade of green; if dark green (supposedly rarer), it means the stone has more iron in it.

2. Upon an inspection with a magnifying glass or something more powerful, you should be able to find inclusions. If it is totally clean (meaning no inclusions), then most likely it is a colored CZ (cubic zircon), aka, lab-made stone.

3. Some experts expect it to show a rainbow of colors when held against a source of light (natural and artificial). Most natural stones are expected to behave this way.

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.

Le péridot, une pierre précieuse, se trouve principalement à Hawaï, aux États-Unis, où il est extrait des roches volcaniques. On en trouve également en Égypte, sur l'île de Zabargad, ainsi qu'à Madagascar et en Chine. Ce minéral est prisé pour sa belle couleur verte et sa clarté.

Peridot is found in various places around the world, including in countries like Pakistan, Myanmar, and the United States. One of the most well-known sources of peridot is in the San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona, USA.
