Peridot
(pron.: /ˈpɛrɨdoʊ/ or /ˈpɛrɨdɒt/) is gem-quality olivine. Olivine is a silicate mineral with formula of (Mg, Fe)2SiO4. As peridot is the magnesium-rich variety (forsterite) the formula approaches Mg2SiO4.
The origin of the name "peridot" is uncertain. The
Oxford English Dictionary suggests an alteration of Anglo–Norman pedoretés
(classical Latin pæderot-), a kind of opal, rather than the Arabic word
faridat, meaning "gem".
Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one
color, an olive green. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depends on
how much iron is contained in the crystal structure, so the color of individual
peridot gems can vary from yellow- to olive- to brownish-green. The most valued
color is a dark olive-green

Olivine, of which peridot is a type, is a common mineral in
mafic and ultramafic rocks, and it is often found in lavas and in peridotite
xenoliths of the mantle, which lavas carry to the surface; but gem quality
peridot only occurs in a fraction of these settings. Peridot can be also found
in meteorites.
Olivine in general is a very abundant mineral, but gem
quality peridot is rather rare. This mineral is precious.
Peridot olivine is mined in Egypt, North Carolina, Arizona
on the San Carlos Reservation, Hawaii, Nevada, and New Mexico at Kilbourne
Hole, in the US; and in Australia, Brazil, China, Kenya, Mexico, Myanmar
(Burma), Norway, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania.
