Peridot

Science & Origin

Peridot forms deep within the Earth's mantle under extreme heat and pressure, brought to the surface through volcanic activity and tectonic movement. Composed of it Olivine, it displays a distinctive olive-green to yellowish-green color caused by iron present in its crystal structure. Unlike most gemstones found in the Earth's crust, Peridot originates from the upper mantle at depths of twenty to fifty-five miles, making it one of few gems created in such extreme environments. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, forming prismatic crystals with vitreous luster. Ancient records show Peridot was mined as early as 1500 bce, prized by pharaohs and roman emperors alike. Its formation requires magnesium-rich environments and occurs primarily in basaltic rocks and metamorphic formations. Peridot's hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale makes it durable for jewelry, while its double refraction creates exceptional brilliance. Its creation in the mantle links it directly to the Earth's fiery core energy.
