Relish a whiff! Think… Why we have stated about the bible above and its precepts… The origin of this very well-known Gemstone which was initially called “The Gem Of The Sun.” The stone was discovered on Topazo Island in the Egyptian red sea around 1500 B.C. made Peridot one of the oldest Gemstone ever found.
Historically, Peridot was called as Olivine and sometimes Chrysolite.
Peridot sounds such a fancy word as it came from the Arabic word – faridata, which meant Gem. The stone is currently mined in many parts of the world but still retains the grandeur of National Gem of Egypt.
When we talk about its origin then at times the stone origin was believed to be found in volcano ashes which were the tears of the Volcano Goddess.
As the age of the stone is old and so as its origin is enthralling, the bible stated- Peridot was the second stone specified in the High Priest’s breastplate as well as procured from the Hebrew pitdah which translates it into Topaz. So the process of Lucifer decoration was done with Peridot.
In extension to its facts, the most vital and exquisite samples of Peridot come from the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Not only these countries are in the part of its life cycle, but the vibrant light green color stones with a subtle composition of silky gloss come from Myanmar. Some Peridots are more petite which comes from Arizona are usually a bit more yellowish or golden-brownish in tint.
