Peridot
is the Birthstone for August
|
|

Peridot
(pronounced pair-a-doe) is a transparent yellowish-green
Magnesium/Iron Silicate. It is a gem variety of the
mineral Chrysolite or Olivine. Peridot ranges in color
from light yellow-green to the intense bright green
of new spring grass to olive. Because of the way Peridot
splits and bends the rays of light passing through
it, it has a velvety appearance, a rich glow, and a
slightly greasy luster. The purer green a Peridot is
the higher the value.
It
is said that miners searched for Peridot crystals at
night because the moonlight made the crystals easier
to see. They would mark the location and come back
in the daylight to dig them up. It was used by the
Egyptians as early as 1500 BC and was considered the
gem of the sun.
