Volcanic activity produces an igneous rock called periodite in which olivine is found. All peridot either comes from deep in the earth\u2019s mantle or, more rarely, from pallasite meteorites.<\/p>\n<h2>Where Does Peridot Come From?<\/h2>\n<p>Peridot from below the earth\u2019s surface is plentiful, especially in the United States. Arizona\u2019s San Carlos Reservation provides an estimated 80-95% of the world\u2019s peridot supply. It is also found in Myanmar, Australia, Brazil, China, Kenya, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Tanzania.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Peridot History &amp; Meaning<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Peridot was mined on the Red Sea island of Zabargad for 3500 years and was treasured by the Greeks and Romans.

The intensity of the peridot\u2019s color depends on the amount of iron; the higher the iron content, the deeper green it will be and generally more valuable too. The finest peridot is green with no tinge of yellow or brown. Peridot comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, but large gemstones, especially in flawless quality, are rare.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Peridot Care &amp; Cleaning<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Peridot has a hardness rating of 6.5 to 7 on Mohs Scale of Hardness, meaning it\u2019s softer than many gems and is not recommended for everyday use. It can be somewhat brittle, and accumulation of skin oil over time may etch the surface. Cleaning peridot jewelry is a delicate process and may be best left to a professional jeweler. If you are attempting to clean peridot gemstones yourself, it is recommended to use a soft bristle brush with mild dish soap in warm water. Avoid using an ultrasonic or steam cleaner as peridot is susceptible to thermal shock. When not being worn, peridot jewelry should be stored in a jewelry box lined with soft fabric and away from other gems to avoid scratching.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How to Tell If Peridot Is Real\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <span data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW198660224 BCX0\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW198660224 BCX0\">Genuine peridot typically shows a lively, slightly olive-green tone and may have natural inclusions rather than appearing perfectly flawless.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW198660224 BCX0\">One of our expert<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW198660224 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW198660224 BCX0\">jeweler<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW198660224 BCX0\">s<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW198660224 BCX0\">\u00a0can confirm authenticity by checking its double refraction and refractive properties.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW198660224 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Can Peridot Be Lab-Grown?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <span data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW121796600 BCX0\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW121796600 BCX0\">Peridot is very rarely lab-grown for commercial use, as natural sources are relatively abundant and accessible.<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW121796600 BCX0\">\u00a0Most\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW121796600 BCX0\">peridot<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW121796600 BCX0\">\u00a0on the market today\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW121796600 BCX0\">is<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW121796600 BCX0\">\u00a0mined rather than created.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW121796600 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How Rare Is Peridot? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <span data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW80041058 BCX0\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW80041058 BCX0\">Peridot is considered moderately rare compared to many gemstones, with notable sources including Arizona and Pakistan.
