About Peridot
Peridot is the gem form of the mineral olivine, ranging from brownish green through yellowish green to pure green. Its colour comes from iron, which is part of its chemistry.
- Birthstone
- August
- Hardness
- 6.5–7 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- Peridot has fair to good toughness and is durable enough for jewellery, but should be protected from scratches and hard knocks.
- Care
- Clean with warm, soapy water and avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners. Keep it away from acids and sudden heat.
- Meaning and tradition
- The ancient Egyptians called peridot the 'gem of the sun', and in folklore it was worn as a talisman against evil spirits and 'terrors of the night', especially when set in gold. It is the gem for 16th wedding anniversaries.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
