Peridot is a vivid olive-to-lime-green gemstone, the gem variety of the mineral olivine, coloured by its own iron content. It is one of the few gems found in only one colour, and some peridot has even arrived on meteorites. Fine gems come from Pakistan, Myanmar and the USA; ancient Egyptians called it the 'gem of the sun'.
