Peridot

Peridot – color, price

Peridot stones mainly occur in yellowish-green and olive colors, but they can also be found in other colors such as brownish-green, green-black, or black-brown. The intensity of green in peridot is determined by the amount of iron in its structure. It is estimated that for peridot to achieve the perfect green color, it should not contain more than 15% iron. Due to its color, natural peridot is sometimes mistaken for emerald. A characteristic feature of peridot is pleochroism, which is variable and depends on the iron content and impurities of other minerals. Like other jewelry stones, the price of peridot depends primarily on the clarity of the stone, its color, and cut.
