Peridot

The vivid green of the peridot, with just a slight hint of gold, is a very old gemstone, and one which has become very popular again today. The ancient Romans too were fond of this gemstone and esteemed its radiant green shine, which does not change even in artificial light. For that reason they nicknamed it the ‘emerald of the evening’.

The peridot is one of the few gemstones which come in one color only. The rich green color with the slight tinge of gold is caused by very fine traces of iron.
