Peridot is a gem-quality variety of the
mineral olivine. It belongs to the forsterite-fayalite mineral series. Some
even refer to peridot as 'olivine', but when it comes to the gemstone, 'peridot'
is the correct term. Peridot is an idiochromatic gem, meaning its color comes
from the basic chemical composition of the mineral itself and not from minor
traces of impurities. Thus, peridot is found only in green. In fact, peridot is
one of the few gemstones available that can be found only in one color,
although the shades of green may vary from light yellowish to dark
brownish-green.
