Peridot was called “Gem of the sun” by the ancients. They believed that it had the power to dissolve enchantments and to drive evil spirits away. This gem has been found in ruins of ancient Egypt and Greece and was often called the "evening emerald" by ancient Romans, who noticed that its green color shone even more vividly in lamplight Peridot is believed to protect the wearer from negativity and is associated with stress reduction and relaxation. Egyptians used peridot to symbolically cleanse and heal the heart. Small crystals of peridot are often found in the rocks created by volcanoes and can also be found in meteors that fall on earth. The Smithsonian Institute houses the largest cut peridot, a 310 carat gem. |
