Peridot Lowercase Initial Alphabet Pendant
Peridot
Forged in fire, Peridot is literally created by volcanoes and has even been found in meteors falling to the earth. This mineral ranges from pale lime to rich olive green. The green-apple crispness of Peridot complements today’s lively fashion scene perfectly. As the popularity of lime green continues to grow, so does the youthful appeal of this citrus-based gem.
The Hawaiian people treasured Peridot, believing the gem to be the tears of the Goddess Pele. The Romans named the gem ‘Evening Emerald’ because its brilliant color did not fade in lamplight, but instead seemed to glow in the evening hours. Partly for this reason, Peridot was believed to help dreams become reality and to drive away the evil spirits of night.
This energetic green gemstone is symbolic of August birthdays as well as given to those born under the zodiac sign of Libra. It is often used to celebrate the 1st and 16th wedding anniversary. It is also an ideal gemstone for lovers of green—whose approachable, balanced nature is reflected in the gem’s verdant hue. Due to the natural state of the stones, each may differ slightly in color, size and inclusions.
