Green Peridot (also called Chrysolite)
Peridot has a beautiful yellow-green color that is brilliant for Christmas season, but because it’s not as hard as other stones it scratches easily. It is one of the few gems that comes in just one color.
The word Peridot is likely from the Arabic word faridat which means “gem.”
