A variety of Olivine (Magnesium Iron Silicate). Its high refractive index makes its bright green color particularly striking. Peridot refers to the gem-quality olivine found in Afghanistan. Ancient Egyptian pharaohs adorned themselves with gold and peridot, believing it held the power of the sun god. The Romans called it the "Evening Emerald" because its color remained vibrant even in darkness. Peridot was later brought back by the Crusaders and is said to have been used in medieval church decorations. Large peridots, over 200 carats, adorn three shrines in Cologne Cathedral, representing the Three Magi. 【Bonus Column: The Sun, Ancient Egyptians, and the Mystery of Peridot】 Peridot is olivine formed in the Earth's upper mantle and brought to the surface by magma. In addition to peridot originating from Earth's geological activity, it can also be found within iron meteorites that have traveled from space. These are said to be peridots born during the formation of the solar system, created by the energy generated when the dense gas cloud of the Milky Way collapsed under gravity about 4.5 billion years ago, forming the sun. They are the oldest gemstones available on Earth (unlike other stones formed from Earth's crustal movements or sedimentation). Now, why did ancient Egyptian pharaohs, without astronomical or physical technology, revere and wear peridot as an embodiment of the sun god, despite its green hue? Why did people clad in simple cloth associate peridot with the sun? It is a mystery. Peridot shines with a mystical brilliance, adorning us even today.
