About Peridot:

The vibrant green hue of the peridot is quite unique in the world of jewellery. The gem variety of the mineral olivine, peridot was first mined by the Ancient Egyptians. They worshipped the gems, believing them to be “gems from the sun”. In 2006 NASA’s Explorer spacecraft, Stardust, embarked on a mission to gather samples from near the sun. The particles analysed upon its return included gem-quality peridot believed to be as old as our solar system, approximately 4.5 billion years. Amazing!

Samples of the verdant green gem has been discovered in meteorites that crashed to earth millions of years ago. One meteorite, unearthed in 1749 in Siberia, contained peridot crystals large enough to make into jewellery, making it the only extra-terrestrial gem that can be worn.

This gem was said to protect the wearer from nightmares and is still seen as a protective stone by some. It is also believed to free the mind of envious thoughts and resentment.
