The name Peridot comes from the Greek language with some of the most important deposits found in the Red Sea area from the Volcanic Isle of St John where they have been mined for over 3500 years.

We also have some in Australia (Queensland of course) which is usually set in Gold.

Interestingly there were some Peridots discovered from a Meteorite which fell to earth in 1749. Not-a-lot of people know that!

The Victorians loved to use this gemstone set with seed pearls. You may find it in old brooches and pendants. It is a very romantic stone.
