Peridot is a gemstone with a fascinating history. It is one of the oldest known gemstones and there are ancient written records documenting the mining of peridot as early as 1500 B.C. It is a gem especially connected with ancient Egypt, and some historians believe that the famous emeralds of Cleopatra were actually peridots!
Peridot's history is different from that of almost all other gems. While most gems are formed in the earth's crust, only the peridot and diamonds are formed much deeper in the earth's mantle.
Peridot was first used a talisman in the ancient world and it has a long standing mystical reputation. It has been thought to have the power of warding off anxiety, making men more articulate and promoting success in relationships and marriage.
