Peridot

The Peridot birthstone is known for being formed under extreme conditions, as it can be found in the hardened lava that carried it from deep within Earth’s mantle as well as in meteorites that travelled from outer space. Peridot is the yellowish green to greenish yellow gem variety of the mineral olivine. Throughout history, Peridot has often been confused with other gems such as Topaz and Emerald. This August birthstone was valued in many ancient and medieval cultures. It appeared in priests’ jewellery as early as the second century BCE and later in the chalices and churches of medieval Europe. The Peridot birthstone has also been used for centuries as a protective talisman, shielding the owner from evil spirits and “terrors of the night”. Peridot is the gem given to celebrate a 15th wedding anniversary. Although most of the Peridot seen in jewellery today comes from sources such as China, Myanmar, Pakistan, Tanzania, Vietnam and the United States, some journeyed to Earth on meteorites while others are found in exotic locales like Peridot Beach, Hawaii, where the sands shimmer a luminous green. With a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the MOH's scale of hardness, Peridot is softer than many gems
