This lot features 17.45 Carats of loose and faceted Peridot gemstones. This collection is expertly cut into round, oval, trillion, pear and cushion style cuts. There are a total of 24 gemstones in this lot including four pear cuts and 17 oval cuts. These stones show a beautiful green color, professional cut, and are in good overall condition. Peridot is named after the French word peritot, meaning gold, because the mineral can vary towards this color. Peridot is the birthstone for the month of August. Ancient papyri record the mining of these stones as early as 1500 BC. The main source of peridot in the ancient world was Topazo Island (now Zabargad or St. John’s Island) in the Egyptian Red Sea. In Ancient times, peridot stones were used for carved talismans. Island habitants were forced to collect the gems for the Pharaoh’s treasury.
