Peridot, “Evening Emerald”

If you are celebrating your birthday this month or your sixteenth wedding anniversary, then the semi-precious stone, Peridot, is the perfect gift for you!

Peridot is a gemstone born in fire as it is found in rocks created by volcanoes, and there are even some cut Peridots that came out of a meteorite that fell in Siberia in 1749.

Hawaiian legend claims that Peridots are the tears of Pele, goddess of the volcano.

Peridot has been mined in Egypt on an island in the Red Se for over 3,500 years! The finest Peridot is mined in Burma, Pakistan and Arizona.

Called the “evening Emerald” by Romans, Peridot is known to keep its vivid green color at night and in the middle ages it was often used in churches and religious ceremonies.

This zesty green gemstone has often been considered an aid to friendship and is thought to bring happiness and good cheer!
