About Peridot Gemstones
Peridot gemstones are commonly a bright-apple green color. Peridot naturally occurs deep within the mantle of the earth's surface. Most gem-quality peridot stones come from small volcanos and lava flows and are scientifically among the most important sources of infomration about the earth's interior according to "The Encyclopedia of Gemstones and Minerals." Olivine, the iron-magnesium silicate mineral that peridot gems are cut from, also occurs in lunar rocks and meteorites.
