Additional Peridot Items and other natural Lapidary Rough Specimens & Crystals for Sale in our Online Store
Peridot is the natural green gem variety of the mineral olivine. From ancient times until the eighteenth century, peridot was known by the name topazion or as topaz. This was due to the fact that one of peridot's earliest mining locations was on the island of Topazios which is known today as Zebirget (formerly as the Isle of St. John) located in the Red Sea. In the eighteenth century the official name topaz was given to our mineral topaz of today, and gem-grade green olivine crystals then became known as peridot!
