Ancient Egyptians mined them in Egypt and as their national gemstone it was known as the ‘Gem of the Sun’.

A symbol of strength bringing happiness, good cheer, attracting love, improving eyesight and freeing the mind of envious thought are just some of the mystical wonders of this gem.

Its name comes from the French word ‘peritot’ which means ‘gold’ as this green can vary towards the golden colour.

So one would think it is pronounced “per-i-doe” but actually “per-i-dot” is equally accepted.

“Wear a Peridot or for thee,
no conjugal fidelity,
The August born without this stone,
‘tis said, must live unloved alone”
