COLORS AND VARIETIES
Chrysolite is divided into several types, depending on its color and luster. It is important to take into account that there is no strict division into types, therefore the mineral is divided exclusively by shades. This classification is not precise, which means that some stones can be attributed to several groups. Some jewelers prefer to divide the stone into varieties according to origin, but this method is used less often. According to color, chrysolite is divided into the following types:
- Intense green. It is one of the most popular shades. Such stones are sometimes mistaken for emeralds. Samples may be light or dark in color.

- Pale green. This includes pistachios, representatives of olives. They are the most common. Such chrysolites are most often quite light.

- Yellow. Samples may be yellow, sometimes even with a hint of red or brown. Such stones are considered rarer. Representatives of gold are of particular interest.

- Peridot Mesa and the stellar type are also distinguished separately. They can have different colors, but they have other unique properties. Mesa variety stones are mined by Native American tribes by hand and are also considered the largest. Star-shaped chrysolite is the rarest and most expensive, which is justified by its unusual brilliance.
- “Emerald” with a golden tint looks most impressive in the evening, by candlelight. In the dim light, it is pleasant to glimpse the green magic of a rare crystal.
SITE
The best-known deposit is the island of Zeberged, where chrysolite was first discovered. There is still a relatively large accumulation of peridot there. In addition, the stone is often found in the following countries: USA, Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, Brazil, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania.
Russia, Mongolia, Myanmar, and Zaire also participate in stone mining. Green olivine is usually found at great depths. It is often mined as a supplementary material. Chrysolite, for example, is found near diamond grooves.
HISTORY AND TRADITION
The beauty of the spring green gemstone is charming. “Evening emerald” is what that stone was called in the distant past. According to ancient legends, a green stone that cast gold could save one from troubles, celebrate, and heal. Even in ancient Scripture, chrysolite is mentioned as one of the “biblical stones” found in the high priest’s breastplate.
Chrysolite is known as a prehistoric mineral. Four hundred centuries before our era, the gemstone came into human hands. In the surrounding area, formations of the gemstone variety olivine diamonds occurred more frequently.
Initially, the peridot type spread among the Mongols. They discovered a rare material among the rocks of the Khangai Highlands. According to their beliefs, an unusual green mineral was associated with dragons. The Mongols therefore believed that it had strong magical energy. It served to protect the family and also to increase physical strength.
The stone was also popular among the Egyptians. It is believed that they were the ones who discovered this mineral. The material was given the name “chrysolite” after the island where the first samples were found.
In addition, chrysolite gained great fame in Europe and India. Thus, the stone’s main magical property stood out — the creation of inner harmony. From that moment on, jewelry began to be used for lithotherapy, and various types of stones were studied in more detail. This led to the emergence of classification.
Chrysolite was used by primitive people. It is assumed that the material was more widespread at that time. This is justified by the fact that it is predominantly of magmatic origin. Because green olivine is easy to shape, it was often used to make tools and weapons.
- The magnificent cut crystal is one of the seven “historic stones” of Russia’s Diamond Fund. The size of the exclusive sample is 5.2 x 3.5 cm, the height reaches 10.5 mm, and the weight is 192.75 carats. A blend of olive and green shades gives the unique pattern a striking coloration. According to historians, this chrysolite served as an artifact for the Roman Emperor Nero. Allegedly, through the crystal, the ruler could reflect on historical events.
The gemstone spread throughout the world thanks to military campaigns, including those carried out by the Crusaders. The stone became famous primarily several centuries ago thanks to its healing and magical properties. Among beliefs about the magic of the stone, stories spread that the mineral’s enchantment restored men’s valiant passion and strength.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
- Chrysolite (peridot) is gem-quality olivine in beautiful shades of green that shines and sparkles even in low light or at dusk. The glare will begin to “dance” from the refraction of the rays in the stone. The above-average hardness and density of the mineral allow it to be processed and used in the manufacture of jewelry
