About Peridot – The Gemstone of Growth and Renewal

Peridot is a gem-quality variety of the mineral olivine, characterized by its distinct lime to deep olive green color, which arises from traces of iron within its crystal structure. Unlike many gemstones formed deep within the earth’s crust, Peridot originates from the upper mantle and is sometimes delivered to the surface by volcanic activity or meteorites, earning it the nickname “extraterrestrial gem.”

Known for its medium hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, Peridot is durable enough for everyday jewelry but requires proper care to preserve its brilliance and color. Throughout history, it has been treasured by ancient Egyptians, Romans, and various cultures for its protective and healing properties.

Origin of Peridot – Where Does It Come From?

Peridot is mined in several renowned locations worldwide, each contributing unique qualities:

  • United States (Arizona): The San Carlos Apache Reservation produces some of the finest Peridot known for vibrant green hues.
  • Myanmar (Burma): Known for large, high-quality crystals with excellent clarity.
  • Pakistan: The Kohistan region yields bright, clean Peridot with strong color saturation.
  • China: Produces Peridot with consistent color and clarity suitable for jewelry.
  • Egypt: Historically significant source with smaller deposits still mined today.
  • Norway and Vietnam: Additional sources producing quality stones.

At ShivRaj Ratna, we prioritize sourcing from Arizona, Myanmar, and Pakistan to ensure top-quality Peridot with intense green color and astrological potency.

Quality & Price Factors of Peridot

The value of Peridot gemstones depends on several important factors:
