Peridot, the birthstone for August, is said to be born of fire, as it is often found in the rocks created by volcanoes.
Peridot was mined in Ancient Egypt. Peridot is the gem form of the mineral olivine and ranges in color from light yellowish green to a 7-up bottle green. Today it is mined mostly by Native Americans in Arizona on the Sam Carlos Reservation. Myanmar (Burma) is also producing some exquisite gems as in China and Sri Lanka. In 1994 a large new deposit of Peridot was discovered in Pakistan, which is now producing some of the finest stones ever seen. This new discovery, combined with fashion’s passion for lime green, has revived interest in Peridot and increased the popularity of this gemstone.
