Peridot: is the gem quality variety of forsteritic Olivine that ranges a 6.5 to 7 on the Moh’s Scale of hardness. The name of the gemstone is believed to come 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 colour. 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 also often referred to as "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 mined in North Carolina, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico in the US. It is also found in Australia, Brazil, China, Kenya, Mexico, Burma, Norway, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. The highest quality Peridot specimens are from the eastern lava fields of Saudi Arabia.
