Named by the Egyptians as the "gem of the sun," peridot is one of the few gemstones that occurs in only one color — a distinctive yellowish green to greenish yellow determined by traces of iron within the stone. Plentiful and generally accessible, peridot forms in irregular nodules deep inside the earth and is brought to the surface through volcanic activity. These oval faceted genuine peridots are eye-clean with a medium to dark yellowish green tone, making them well suited for fine jewelry fabrication, setting practice, or retail resale.
Care: Clean with warm, soapy water only. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
