Peridot: Are peridots the
divine tears wept by Pele, Hawaiian goddess of the volcano? Or the powerful talismans against evil of ancient
Egyptian lore? Peridot has been
credited with many magical powers and healing properties. Today, peridot is one of the most popular gemstones,
prized for its fresh green color. Peridot is the
birthstone for August and the
suggested gift for the sixteenth wedding anniversary. Peridots are mined in Arizona, Burma, Norway, Pakistan,
among others. Peridot rates 6 1/2 to 7 on the
Mohs scale of hardness.
Enhancements:
Cutting is the most basic enhancement method necessary to display the beauty of a gemstone. Peridots
are not known to have any other method of enhancement.
Peridot Care: Do not use an
ultrasonic cleaner on your
peridot jewelry. Avoid sudden temperature changes, steaming and contact with cosmetics, hairspray, perfume or
household chemicals. Clean only with a damp cloth or soft brush with room temperature water.
