Peridot Pakistan
Peridot: Birthstone for August or Great Gift for the Irish
The peridot is a fairly old gem and was worn by the Egyptians during the early 2nd millennium BC. These gems found their source on a small volcanic island off the Egyptian coast. This island was lost for centuries and was rediscovered only recently in the 1900s. However ever since that the resources of these gemstones have been exhausted. This nevertheless does not mean that peridot gems are no longer available. Recently peridot was discovered in Kashmir in India. The gems found here are exquisite and the colors that these stones are a brilliant shade. These gems when used in ornaments make memorable pieces. The resources of Peridot that were found in Kashmir have finally allowed peridot to make a huge comeback into the world of precious stones. People looking to buy the most beautiful peridots should look towards the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan as it is here that the best stones of peridot are found.
Peridot is called different names like Chrystolite and olivine. Peridot’s cat eyes are particularly rare and precious. It is essentially iron magnesium silicate. It is probably one of the only gemstones that come in a single color of green. This color however varies over shades of yellow and olive. Its intensity depends on the iron content in the gem. It is not a very hard gem and rates at around 6.5 on the Mohs scale, but it is easy to use and quite robust.
Peridot is famous as the August birthstone and it fits perfectly as the summer stone, thanks to its rich hues. It is found mainly on the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan and the resources found here are abundant allowing people to craft them into ornaments as per their choice. It complements a summer wardrobe perfectly. However, a peridot with the richest and deepest of colors is difficult to find and is very expensive when used in jewelry. The green hues are a big hit in the fashion world paving way to the prominence of the peridot of the fashion circuits today.
