Peridot, which emits a bright green light even at night, was called the "gem of the sun" by the ancient Egyptians and the "evening emerald" by the Romans. Peridot was a favorite of Cleopatra, and has long been confused with emerald.

Peridot is a type of olivine, and only the highly transparent, beautiful green variety is considered to be "peridot."

Peridot ranges in color from brown-green to yellow-green to pure green, with higher quality pieces having a more green hue and lower quality pieces having a brownish hue.
Peridot's color comes from iron and magnesium; the more iron there is, the deeper green it becomes, and the more magnesium there is, the deeper yellow it becomes.
Colors range from golden lime green to a rich light green, with light green being the traditionally most highly valued shade.
(※Moegi is a vibrant yellow-green color. It is also called light green, the color representing the grass buds that sprout in spring.)
It is said that.
Peridot also splits and refracts light, giving it a deep brilliance and an attractive velvety, silky luster.
