Peridot is one of the ancient gems known to mankind. Popular in early Greek and Roman jewellery. It is believed that the mining of peridot was as early as 1500 BC. Peridot was a popular gemstone in ancient Egypt; besides it is also Egypt’s national gem. The ancient Egyptians mined peridot on the Red Sea Island of Zabargad, from where many large fine peridots have been exhibited as collectors’ gems across the world’s museums.
This is the only gem that forms with diamonds in the earth mantle and is brought to the earth’s surface through volcanic eruptions. During certain exceptionally occurrences, peridot has been delivered to earth in meteorites! These peridots are called pallasites after their discovery in 1772 by a German Scientist called Peter Simon Pallas.
