Peridot Properties 

Peridot is the gem variety of olivine and ranges between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness.

Peridot tends to be clearer than emerald and it comes in various shapes, sizes and hues. The quality is good and its value is higher if the texture and surface is clear and the color is deep green. It has a rather oily and greasy appearance. Like an emerald, a peridot could have bubbles, flaws and inclusions, so clarity is very important in looking for a good quality stone.



It is thought to bring the wearer good luck, peace, and success,. Its powers include health, protection, and sleep. The advantages of peridot are to attract love and calm anger while also soothing nerves and dispelling negative emotions.
