Peridot (pronounced peh-ri-doh) forms in the mantle of the planet and is carried to the surface during volcanic eruptions, therefore deposits are often found near volcanoes, extinct or active. Large stones of gem quality from these deposits are rare.

Please note: We take great care to ensure that the photographs are an accurate representation of the actual stone, but due to differences in screen quality and resolution, and the fact that the colour of a gemstone is dependent on the type of light it is viewed in, some variation is possible.
