Peridot earrings, the birthstone
for August |
 |
Peridot earrings are created in 14k gold. Peridot earrings are
stylish and very inexpensive.
One gemstone is born in fire: Peridot, the volcanic gem. Small
crystals of Peridot are often found in the rocks created by
volcanoes and also can be found in meteors that fall to earth! A few
samples of extraterrestrial Peridot have even been faceted into
gems! Peridot is the gem form of the mineral olivine.
Because the iron which creates the color is an integral part of its
structure, it is found only in green,
ranging from a summery light yellowish green to a 7-up bottle green.
