9.75 CTS FACETED NATURAL PERIDOT [GOGO122]

Description

HISTORY, ROMANCE & LORE Peridots apple-green hue has been treasured for over 4,000 years. The Ancient Egyptians so adored Peridot that the location of its fog-shrouded volcanic mines were a closely guarded secret. The Romans dubbed it evenings emerald because unlike the deep-green emerald, Peridots citrus tones remain constant even by candlelight. In the Middle Ages, Europeans adorned cathedrals with fine Peridot stones.
