Peridot Gems
Peridot is a gemstone with a fascinating history. It is one of the oldest known gemstones, with ancient written records documenting the mining of peridot as early as 1500 B.C. It is a gem especially connected with ancient Egypt, and some historians believe that the famous emeralds of Cleopatra were actually peridots.
In nature, peridot’s history is different from that of almost all other gems. Most gems are formed in the earth’s crust. The two exceptions are peridot and diamond, which are formed much deeper in the earth, in the earth’s mantle. Peridot forms in magma in the upper mantle, about 20 to 55 miles deep; it is brought to the surface by tectonic or volcanic activity. Diamond, by contrast, is formed much deeper in the mantle, around 100 to 150 miles below the surface, at extreme pressure and temperature.
The main source of peridot in the ancient world was Topazos Island, now known as Zabargad or St. John’s Island, in the Egyptian Red Sea. The island was discussed in the natural history of Pliny the Elder (23-79 A.D.) as having been explored in the fourth century B.C. Peridot was probably known originally as topaz; only much later did the name come to be applied to the gemstone we know today as topaz. Peridot has been mined on Zabargad almost continuously for over 3,500 years. But it is an interesting fact that the exact location of the island was lost for several centuries and was only rediscovered in 1905. The tiny island, often shrouded in fog, is located about 35 miles off the Egyptian costal port of Berenica.
Mining ended on Zabargad around the time of World War II. Today there are five major sources of peridot. Very fine specimens come from Burma, and new material from Pakistan has generated considerable excitement in the gem world. Arizona and New Mexico in the USA are important producers of commercial grade peridot, and Vietnam and China especially are are increasingly important suppliers.
The largest known cut peridot is 310 carats and housed at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.; a 192.75 carat stone is in the Diamond Treasury, Moscow; and a 146 carat peridot may be found in the Geological Museum in London, England. Peridot is a relatively inexpensive gemstone in small sizes, but the value goes up with stones over 5 carats, with 10-15 carat stones very rare and expensive. There is no known treatment to improve the color or clarity of peridot, so peridot is always an untreated gem.
