Peridot is the only gemstone that shares the same origin as diamond: deep in the Earth's mantle (a-la lava and meteorites), not in the crust.
It is one of the earliest recorded gemstones mined in history from a tiny island in the Egyptian Red Sea called Topazios, now known as Zabargad, around 300 BC. Some historians believe that a portion of Cleopatra’s famed emeralds may have been peridot! It was the “gem of the sun” to Egyptians.
To ancient Romans it deterred jealousy. Some believe it to bring positivity, prosperity and inner strength.
Whatever they may symbolize for you today, we've outlined points to help you understand value and what to ask to make an informed decision on the peridot you will LOVE!
