Named by the Egyptians as the "gem of the sun," peridot is one of the few gemstones found in only one color — a distinctive yellowish green to greenish yellow, with traces of iron responsible for its characteristic hue. This lime-green gem forms in irregular nodules deep inside the earth and is brought to the surface through volcanic activity, making each stone a product of remarkable geological forces. Plentiful and generally accessible, peridot offers excellent value for jewelers seeking a genuine, untreated gemstone with strong visual appeal.
These oval cabochons are eye-clean with a medium to dark yellowish green color, ideal for setting in rings, pendants, earrings, and other jewelry designs. As the birthstone for August, peridot is a popular choice for custom and commemorative pieces. Care should be taken to clean with warm, soapy water only—avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
