Named by the Egyptians as the "gem of the sun," peridot is a plentiful gemstone ranging from transparent yellowish green to greenish yellow, with traces of iron responsible for its distinctive color. These lime-green gems originate from irregular nodules formed deep inside the earth and brought to the surface by volcanic activity, giving each stone a naturally organic character.
These genuine peridot cabochons display small eye inclusions and a medium to dark yellowish green tone, making them well suited for setting in finished jewelry or resale. Peridot serves as the traditional birthstone for August. Care is simple: clean with warm, soapy water only. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
