Peridot is a gemstone that is as unique and fascinating as its history. Peridot has been found all over the world, including in Hawaii, Myanmar, Pakistan, and the Arabian Peninsula. Its vibrant green colour is due to the presence of iron, and it ranges in hue from pale yellow-green to deep olive.
In ancient times, peridot was believed to have mystical powers that protected its wearer against nightmares. This birthstone was also used by the ancient Egyptians to adorn royalty, including Cleopatra. In fact, it was often referred to as the "gem of the sun" due to its ability to shine brightly even in the dimmest of lights.
The peridot is not only unique in its colouring but in its formation as well. Unlike many other gemstones that are mined underground, peridot is formed in molten rock, also known as magma, and brought to the surface via volcanic activity. The gemstone can also be found within meteorites that have fallen to Earth.
It is believed that the peridot birthstone symbolises strength, love, and loyalty. It is believed to alleviate stress, anger, and jealousy, while also promoting positivity, abundance, and prosperity.
