Gemology
Peridot occurs from the mineral olivine, which often occurs as a result of volcanic activity. It’s extracted mainly in Vietnam, China, The United States, Zabargard in Egypt, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Finland. The Peridot’s colour varies from light golden to dark green. Its colour is determined by the temperatures and elements that affect the gemstone when it’s formed underground. To measure a gemstone’s hardness, Moh’s Hardness Scale. The scale varies from 1-10, where 10 is the hardest – here is the diamond, which is the hardest gemstone. Peridot is a 6.5-7 on Moh’s Hardness Scale.
