Peridot for Sale | Large Stock of Peridot in many Sizes

Peridots are among the rare gemstones that originate from deep within the earth's mantle, emerging to the surface through volcanic processes. This formation process is shared only with diamonds, making peridots quite unique.

The Spectrum of Peridot Hues

The color of peridots is invariably green, but this green varies extensively. It ranges from a light, yellow-tinged lime or grass green to rich, deep olive tones, and even to a darker, almost brownish army green.

Peridot's formation in the earth's mantle, as opposed to the crust, is not its only unique feature. It is also idiochromatic, unlike most gemstones which are allochromatic. This means the green color of peridot is inherent to its chemical structure, not a result of impurities as seen in many other gemstones.

What Constitutes Peridot?

Peridots are essentially a type of Olivine, composed of two minerals: fayalite and forsterite. When olivine possesses the right color, size, and clarity, it is classified as 'peridot'.

Valuing Peridot

Peridot is known for being quite affordable. While factors like clarity, cut, and carat size do affect its price, the primary determinant of a peridot's value is its color.

The most sought-after peridots are those with a consistent, vibrant green color without any yellow or brown undertones.

Peridots from countries like Myanmar and Pakistan, known for producing stones of this ideal color, can command higher prices.

Optimal Carat Size

Peridots display their best color in stones weighing between 3 to 5 carats or more. Larger sizes allow for a richer color depth. However, due to their rarity, larger stones may cost more per carat.

Smaller peridots, under 2 carats but with excellent color and clarity, typically range from $30 to $60 per carat, while larger stones might reach up to $80 per carat.

Treatment of Peridots

Peridots are generally not subjected to any enhancements other than standard cutting and polishing.

Peridot Sources

Today, the primary sources of peridot include China, Pakistan, Myanmar, Tanzania, and the USA.

Peridot in Jewelry

With a rating of 6.5 - 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, peridots are suitable for a variety of jewelry. However, for daily wear items or engagement rings, protective settings are recommended due to their relative softness.

Significance in Birthstones and Anniversaries

Peridot is one of the designated birthstones for August and is traditionally given as a gift for the 16th wedding anniversary.

I was looking for ammolite for my husband. Other websites are not always clear about whether they have genuine ammolite or simulated ammolite. I have purchased from GemSelect before and trust that the stones are genuine. Finding the stones I want is easy, and I love all of the search filter options!

I was in the market for birthstones for a lil gift project im doing. I'm no expert in gems or what not but the quality as far as i can tell seems to be spot on.

I really enjoy browsing through GemSelect. The selection is always marvelous and I love how detailed everything is described. The only thing I noticed is that when browsing through my phone, the videos of the gems do not load. If there were more videos of the gems, that would be amazing, though I understand that is a lot of work on GemSelect's part! Checking out is also very fast and easy, and I love that the return policy is very good, though I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon.

I love your selection of gems. My only complaing is I wish I could put in a page number to return to that page.When there are over 60 pages of gems it is hard to return to a page with a gem I am considering.

Everthing about researching and ordering from Gemselect was easy and uncomplicated. In the past I had payment problems, but your customer rep, Thomas, helped me get everything right. I will continue using Gemselet in the future for these reasons.
