Peridot has been mined for over 3,500 years, first celebrated by ancient Egyptians who believed it protected against nightmares and brought good fortune. The finest stones come from Pakistan, Myanmar (Burma), the USA (Arizona and Hawaii), and China. It is also found in volcanic lava and, rarely, in meteorites.
Peridot is admired for its intense, grassy green color and exceptional clarity. Large, flawless stones over 10 carats are rare and prized. Its affordability, durability, and unique history make it a favorite for both classic and contemporary jewelry.
Egyptians called peridot the “gem of the sun” and adorned pharaohs with it for protection and power.
In folklore, peridot was believed to heal the heart, calm anger, and promote well-being.
Its fresh green makes it a sought-after stone for summer jewelry and trend-setting designs.
