Sometimes called the “evening emerald” for its light
green colour, it evokes the lateness of summer and the onset of fall, as leaves
morph from green to gold and hang like jewels in the sunlight.
STORY
Called “the
extreme gem” by the Gemological Institute of America, Peridot is born of fire
and brought to light, one of only two gems (Diamond is the other) formed not in
the Earth’s crust, but in molten rock of the upper mantle and brought to the
surface by the tremendous forces of earthquakes and volcanoes. While these
Peridots are born of Earth, other crystals of Peridot have extraterrestrial
origins, found in rare pallasite meteorites (only 61 known to date) formed some
4.5 billion years ago, remnants of our solar system’s birth. Peridot in its
basic form, Olivine, was also found in comet dust brought back from the Stardust
robotic space probe in 2006, has been discovered on the moon.
Ancients
believed, quite accurately, that Peridot was ejected to Earth by a sun’s
explosion and carries its healing power. It is sometimes called the “evening
emerald” for its light green colour. Beautifully faceted, it evokes the
lateness of summer and the onset of fall, as leaves morph from green to gold
and hang like jewels in the sunlight.
It is a
crystal of warmth and well-being, mentally stimulating and physically
regenerating.
Silver
diamonds are a little piece of magic, with a sparkle of inclusions and colours
that makes each one completely unique due to its individual markings. Grey or
Silver diamonds are exactly the same as traditional diamonds but they carry
visual inclusions of carbon and other minerals captured within them as they
formed over millions of years. This gives each stone its unique hues, tones and
patterns of light which is why we love them so much. They represents a
coolness, sophistication, and class.
