Peridot is gem-quality olivine. Olivine, of which peridot is a type, is a common mineral in mafic and ultramafic rocks, and it is often found in lavas and in peridotite xenoliths of the mantle, which lavas carry to the surface; but gem quality peridot only occurs in a fraction of these settings. Peridot can be also found in meteorites. Peridot is the birthstone of August.

The mineral is a carefully chosen piece, with a photo that shows the actual specimen you will receive
