Peridot is the birthstone for August and the 15th anniversary gemstone.
Peridot is the gem variety of the mineral olivine. Its chemical composition includes iron and magnesium, and iron is the cause of its attractive yellowish green colors. The gem often occurs in volcanic rocks called basalts, which are rich in these two elements.
The color range for Peridot is narrow, from a brown-green color to yellowish green to pure green. Yellowish green is the most common peridot color seen in jewelry.
Peridot is found in Pakistan, Myanmar and Vietnam, Australia, Brazil, China, Kenya, Mexico, Norway, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and the United States (Arizona and Hawaii). Recently, China has become of the largest producers of peridot.
These particular Peridot beads were mined in China.
Topaz ranges from colorless (white) to yellow, orange, red-brown, light to dark-blue, pink to red, violet and light-green. Naturally colored topaz gets its color from iron and chromium; the impurities cause color, whereas pure topaz is colorless.
