VARIETIES
The color of the mineral ranges from green. The color depends entirely on the impurities contained in the stone. There are several basic shades: olive, pistachio, golden green, tobacco
Most representatives are characterized by light colors, but dark stones also exist. It is rare to see minerals with a predominantly yellow color. The most popular are clearly the bright green peridot gemstones. When it comes to varieties, there are two types:
- Star peridot. This variety is considered the most expensive because it has a beautiful luster and a cat's eye effect.
- Peridot Mesa. These stones are located in the territory of Indian tribes and are still mined by hand.
COLOR
- olivine, also known as chrysolite, peridot (olive green, yellow-green, red, brown, dark yellow), readily available, but truly high-quality crystals are hard to find
In terms of color, olivine varies from pure green to yellow-green and greenish-yellow.
The perfect shade is sometimes disrupted by elements of yellow or brown. The best color is usually found in stones over 10 ct. A lower price and quality are indicated by a brownish coloration. Pure green stones are rare; olivine most commonly occurs in the aforementioned yellow-green. Perfectionists claim that perfect olivine should contain less than 15% iron and that trace elements of nickel and chromium must not be absent from its lattice. The highest-quality stones tend to have a rich color and mostly come from Myanmar and Pakistan. The color of peridot is beautiful in both daylight and artificial lighting, but sunlight can bring it to life and ignite a true fire within it.
LOCALITIES: USA, Brazil, Egypt, Ireland, Russia, Sri Lanka, Canada, Canary Islands.
Peridots of the highest jewelry quality are found predominantly on the floor of the Red Sea, where the oceanic crust is spreading in the rift zone and magma is flowing into the seawater. This magma cools rapidly and forms pillow structures in which olivine also forms. Alternatively - as, for example, in Myanmar - rocks pushed up from the Earth's mantle may become deformed and, during movements of the Earth's crust, may become part of mountain ranges.
Miners find peridot in the form of irregular nodules (rounded pieces of rock containing crystals) in lava flows in the United States, China, and Vietnam. Very rarely, they occur in the form of large crystals lining veins or pockets in certain types of solidified molten rock. Sources of gemstones formed in this way include Finland, Pakistan, Myanmar, and Zabargad Island.
Besides terrestrial sources, olivine is also found in meteorites.
HISTORY AND TRADITION
Olivine, peridot, chrysolite – all of these names refer to a beautiful olive-green stone that was often mistaken for emerald throughout the ages
Peridot crystal shines like a beam of energetic light, a stone of happy, joyful vibrations and the perfect companion to guide you along the path of the sun.Peridot is a sign that it is time to feel good, a simple wish and our divine birthright.
As the wise saying goes: "Keep your face toward the sun and the shadows will fall behind you."
- Olivine (peridot), a mineral with a variable proportion of magnesium and iron depending on the conditions of its formation. It is precisely iron that causes the green coloration of the stone. Perfectionists claim that perfect olivine should contain less than 15% iron and that trace elements of nickel and chromium must not be absent from its lattice.
- It was named after its olive-green coloration, which combined the words olive and green, but its name was confused several times. The ancient Romans used the name Topazos after the island where it was mined, and French jewelers later used the name Peridot. The designation peridot is derived from the Arabic word Faridat, which means diamond. Olivine is nicknamed "the Crusaders' emerald".
In ancient times, it was believed that peridot could keep a person out of reach of evil spirits. To this day, it is considered a stone that protects the human aura.
Peridot was considered by many civilizations to be a symbol of spring and the sun and was worn to attract luck and success. This stone was especially prized by the Egyptian pharaohs as the “crystal of the sun” thanks to its green-golden color. The ancient Romans called it the “evening emerald” because, according to them, its color did not darken at night, but remained beautifully visible in the glow of a burning fire.
- Olivine forms a significant part of lunar soil; it even occurs in meteorites and in samples from other planets in the solar system.
- With the destruction of ancient volcanoes on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, beaches with green sand are formed.
- The Vatican treasury contains the green crystal of the Roman Emperor Nero, through which he watched bloody gladiatorial battles. Until the twentieth century, they thought it was an emerald. However, laboratory tests identified the peridot.
- Holy Scripture says that chrysolites adorned the garments of the Jewish high priests, and the seventh foundation of the wall of the Heavenly Jerusalem was made from them (according to chapter 21 of Revelation). In the setting of the icon The Trinity Giving Life by Andrei Rublev - the same legendary jewels.
- Esotericists claim that olivine chooses a single owner. If someone finds it or buys it used, the crystal will be lost or destroyed again without external interference.
