Peridot

The fresh lime green of peridot is its distinctive signature. The peridot is one of the few gemstones which come in one color only - but it does the color right. The peridot adds a wonderful variant to the color spectrum of green gemstones.

It has been found in ruins of ancient Egypt and Greece and was often called the “evening emerald” by ancient Romans, who noticed that its green color shone even more vividly in lamplight, making it resemble deep green emeralds; so radiant that it could be found at night.
