| Peridot and comes from the Arabic word “faridat” which means gem. Peridot is regularly referred to as the evening emerald because they appear greener under artificial light.
Peridot ranges in color from light yellow-green to the intense bright green of new spring grass to olive.
Peridot was regarded since ancient times as the symbol of the sun. The Greeks believed that it brought royal dignity upon its wearer.
Peridot brings friendship and will help one born in August to steer clear of envy and helps ward off depression and fear. It can also be used to help gain divine inspiration, strengthen the effect of medicine and improve one's speech. Peridot is said to have helped dreams become real and has been given the emblem of fame, strength, and energy.
Peridot is also given as the 16th anniversary gemstone.
