We love the properties, myths and legends attached to gemstones. Here are some for peridot;

Peridot is named after the French word peritot, meaning gold, because the mineral can vary towards this colour. Most scholars however, believe the Peridot is derived from the Arabic word ‘Faridat’ which means gem.

The Egyptians first discovered peridot. The color of the stones, reminiscent of spring, linked them to nature, youthfulness and the goddess Isis. The gems were thought to promote wealth and power for their wearers and also to ward against nightmares and jealous thoughts.

It is also the birthstone for August and the Zodiac star sign Leo, as it is said to bring peace to the wild hearts of their bearers! Along with these virtues it is a lovely gemstone.

These are natural genuine gemstones so inclusions may appear in the stones
