Peridot is the August birthstone and represents the 16th wedding anniversary. It is constituted of the mineral olivine and is formed during volcanic eruptions. Peridots are one of the few gemstones that occur only in one colour - green - and are also the only gemstone found within meteorites.
Known as the "evening emerald" by the Romans because of its resemblance to the more expensive stone, when seen under torchlight they glow. Peridots are mined predominantly in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, US, Africa and Australia.
On the Mohs scale it has a hardness of between 6.5 to 7, but is still a relatively robust stone. Peridots range in shades between lime green and dark olive, the intensity of which is dictated by the amount of iron within.
