PERIDOT: is the gem quality formation of one of the two minerals commonly known as Forsterite Olivine. Its name is believed to originate from either the Arabic word "faridat", meaning "gem" or the French word "peritot", meaning "unclear." Peridot is one of the few gemstones that comes in only one color. The depth of green depends on how much iron is contained in the crystal structure, and varies from yellow-green to olive and brownish green. Peridot is often referred to as the "poor man's emerald". Olivine is a very abundant mineral, but gem quality Peridot is rather rare. Crystals have been collected from iron-nickel meteorites, while Olivine formations of Peridot can be found among lava beds. However, gem quality Peridot only occurs in a fraction of these settings.

Peridot is the official birthstone for the month of August as adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912. It is also the stone for the zodiac sign of Libra. Peridot is thought to bring the wearer good luck, peace, and success. Its powers are said to include health, protection, and sleep. It is also credited for attracting love, calming anger, soothing nerves and dispelling negative emotions.
