Peridot is the only gemstone found in meteorites.

The history of peridot goes back to the ancient Egyptians who hunted the iridescent stone at night with lamps.

In the 1990’s it experienced a renaissance when spectacular mines were found in Kashmir.

In addition to being the gemstone of August, peridot is given for the 16th wedding anniversary.
